North Costa Rica & Central Costa Rica & South Costa Rica Forecast for the Pacific
FRIDAY: The new swell tops out for Friday, offering chest-head high surf at many spots with good exposure, and occasional sets running 1-2 feet overhead at standouts, especially during the more favorable tide windows. Select magnets will likely see occasional plus sets each day during the best tides.
WEATHER/WIND: Most areas will see a typical diurnal wind pattern through the next couple days. Look for calm to very light/variable to locally light offshore wind for the early to mid mornings (depending on the specific spot), before a moderate onshore seabreeze gradually develops over the late morning hours and into each afternoon. Good chance for the wind to back off in the evenings for a glassoff at many locations before dark, especially the more sheltered/tucked away spots.
Friday 05/22 – 1.2-1.8m – Shoulder high to 0.3 m overhead occ. 2.1m – New SSW swell tops out, while long period forerunners of a newer SSW start to creep in under it.
Saturday 05/23 – 1.2-1.8m – Shoulder high to 0.3 m overhead occ. 2.1m – BIGGEST LATE with occasional larger sets at standout spots – The newer/bigger SSW swell fills in further and tops out late.
