North Costa Rica & Central Costa Rica & South Costa Rica Forecast for the Pacific
FRIDAY: SSW swell continues with shoulder-head high surf at exposed breaks, while good breaks are up to a foot or two overhead (and standouts may even be a little better at times). Swell is strongest Thursday before easing Friday.
WEATHER/WIND: Most areas will see light/variable wind for the early mornings, before a moderate onshore S-SW seabreeze gradually develops over the mid to late morning hours and into each afternoon. NOTE – Good chance for the wind to back off into the evenings for a glassoff for some locations before dark, especially the more sheltered/tucked away spots. NOTE – Passing showers or thunderstorms due to temporarily affect/change local wind conditions.
