National Forecast
Caribbean Coast - Waves from the ESE arrive Tuesday at chest high with a rare bigger set. Sticks around waist to chest through Thursday afternoon, and then drops off for the weekend down to knee high.
Pacific Coast - Weakening SSW swell keeps the surf in the waist to chest range through Wednesday morning, while to the south it's a foot bigger at the right tide. By Wednesday afternoon the first head high sets from the Southwest arrive, and by Thursday it jacks up to a foot overhead with a few bigger sets. The swell maxes Friday and then recedes back to chest to head high by Sunday, with some lingering overhead waves.
The Long Shot - More fun head high to overhead surf next week, with nothing major set to arrive until June12th. At least it won't be flat.

Tamarindo Report
** From Joe at Witchs Rock Surf Camp (May 24)-
The waves were really fun all morning long. Finally the wind turned onshore right at about 12pm.
Time to relax, hopefully the wind will turn itself around as the waves are head high in front of WRSC, really fun in the rivermouth and up along Playa Grande...
Playa Grande Report
** From Louis at Hotel Las Tortugas -
We finally have a nice little swell (Sat.), but with the rainy season just to the south, the offshores are not cooperating. The water is warm and clear and the surface conditions in the morning and evening are glassy. In between the junk there are some head high jewels. Mellow crowd. It wouldn't take much to turn these conditions into great surf - maybe a rain storm?
Playa Negra Report
** From John Lyman, photographer (May 24)-
The surf has come way up with mostly head high and lots of overhead sets. Just a bit too south for Negra but Avellanas is looking like the spot early. Mostly cloudy and the wind has been picking up onshore about noon. Water temp is in the low 80s. Playa Avellanas rivermouth with the low tide running through the mornings this upcoming week.
