Light wind and strong swell continues!!
Sunday, February 05, 2012
Santana lit up a treat on strong southerly. Light wind through the morning.
Saturday, February 04, 2012
Been a long wait, but we finally got some decent waves again!! Strong southerly pulse generated by storm somewhere off the coast Chile.
Friday, February 03, 2012
We finally got some swell!!! Windy & overcast through the morning, more unseasonal rain (heavy!) at lunchtime, then got OK through the afternoon...
Monday, January 23, 2012
Nothing happening on the beach today (except some girls taking photos of each other...)and nothing on the forecast until the end of next week. Completely flat at Colorados. Occasional rideable wave at Panga Drops, but tiny.
Sunday, January 22, 2012
Tiny waves today and nobody surfing, so here's a Village Life report instead...
Saturday, January 21, 2012
2-3ft, light offshore breeze. Sunny!!
Friday, January 20, 2012
The swell's down from yesterday, but some OK waves still coming through at Panga Drops. Light offshore. Scattered showers, some heavy.
Thursday, January 19, 2012
Peaky high tide micro-barrel session over at Santana. Makeable barrel sections coming through both on the left and right.
Thursday, January 19, 2012
With torrential rain though the night, a grey start to the day and light offshore winds its feeling more like May or June at the moment. Colorados not doing much early, but Panga Drops churning up some fun ones. Head high on the sets and clean.

January rains known locally as "Las Pintas" continue. These rains are no good for agriculture and actually cause normal dry season produce (mangos, jocotes, pipians) to rot fast. The surf still sucks...
Tuesday, January 17, 2012
The Papagayo hasn't and according to the forecast won't let up, more January rains. Some OK waves at Panga Drops, Colorados closed out.
Monday, January 16, 2012
In spite of the strong winds there was some fun to be had at Panga Drops today. First January rainbow I've ever seen!!
Monday, January 16, 2012
Strong wind and small swell continues. Early morning and late afternoon it would have been OK if it weren't for the full tide.
Friday, December 30, 2011
Some good moments, but generally a stirred up mess with strongish south westerly swell and gusty side offshore breeze. Could get good on the tail end of the swell provided the winter offshores don't go ballistic- which is just what they are threatening to do.
Saturday, December 24, 2011
Christmas Eve: Not feeling much like December with strong swell, cloudy skies and even a few drops of rain. Wind blowing at about 15mph from the North East which is side offshore.
Friday, December 23, 2011
Strong swell continues! Light wind early morning and late afternoon, breezy through the middle of the day. Most of the action on the left again.
Thursday, December 22, 2011
The Christmas swell is here!! According to the forecast it should ramp up on Christmas Eve when the swell period is due to lengthen & strengthen...
Friday, December 16, 2011
Breezy again, but plenty of swell still lingering in the water. Barrel fest on both the left and right.
Thursday, December 15, 2011
Good waves all week, just been a bit hectic to take any photos. Dec 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th was looking like mid June w/ light wind and some truly bestial sets. Smaller now and fairly windy, but plenty of fun still to be had. The forecast is looking good for Christmas!!
Tuesday, December 06, 2011
OK waves all day really switched on for the late afternoon and sunset session when the wind died down. Swell direction is SW putting most of the action on the right toward the north of the break.

We were in the kitchen at The Wave Garden talking about the scenes to be used in the final stage of the mural when I spotted Lester in just the right place for this little nugget. Grabbing his camera, fumbling with the lens cap and the power switch Rob came up with the goods on this sequence of him getting shacked right past the front door...

Chest to head high and breezy.
Thursday, November 24, 2011
Not huge, but definitely juicier than it has been the last few weeks. The odd decent size sneaker sets coming in. Distinct smell of roasting turkeys wafting out to the lineup on the gentle offshore breeze! All in all, a truly beautiful day. GRACIAS!!
Wednesday, November 23, 2011
Moderate side offshore wind through the day reduced for a a fun low tide sunset session. Occasional overhead sets showing up, but generally still small. Got pretty solid mid afternoon a couple of hours after high.
Sunday, November 20, 2011
Been OK on the mid tides and occasional rogue sets coming in, but all in all the last 10 days have been tiny. Small swell due to start filling in tomorrow and a juicier swell showing up at the end of the long range (Tuesday week).
Friday, November 11, 2011
45 minute drive + 45 minutes trek = Playgrounds. Was small today, but punchy and a lot of fun. Remoteness thins out the crowds, provided there aren't too many boats. Moderate side offshore breeze through the morning died down after lunch.
Monday, November 07, 2011
Peaky fun with occasional bit of juice rolling in every 15 minutes or so. Both the left and the right working OK.
Sunday, November 06, 2011
Sunny day again, but smaller than yesterday and more wind. Occasional overhead sets coming through. Great views looking toward Gigante.
Saturday, November 05, 2011
Not great through the morning, but sorted itself out for a fun afternoon/ sunset session on the falling tide. Light side-offshore breeze, sunny day.
