The swell picked up overnight with some good waves, and consistent sets in the shoulder to overhead range. The wind conditions were really clean, and glassy, all day.  The tides are beginning to get more extreme, so timing was everything, as the best sections seemed to shift around with the tides.

Costa Rica Tides:

9.65ft High Tide @ 2:05am

0.95ft Low Tide @ 8:07am

10.50ft High Tide @ 2:19pm

0.16ft Low Tide @ 8:40pm

Costa Rica Weather:

It’s another beautiful day here in Pavones, Costa Rica.  We had light rain and cloudy skies this morning, clearing up slightly this afternoon.  The temperature feels really comfortable.  It would appear that green season is here with all these rain showers passing through.
