This weekend small but surfable pulses are rolling through Costa Rica, with leftover SSW energy offering waist-to-chest-high surf and a few playful peaks pushing near head high. Sunday is shaping up as the standout. Nothing major — just clean, fun walls. Looking ahead, eyes turn toward a brewing run of storms off New Zealand. The first system should push surf into the chest-to-overhead zone by early in the week of the 27th as the pulse peaks Tuesday the 28th. It’s a solid start to a promising late-season run. Then comes the real story: a massive low-pressure system projected to spin up near 50-foot seas by Friday the 24th. Most of its energy will aim toward South America, but enough swell should angle north to light up Costa Rica and especially Guanacaste around October 31st into November 1st. Expect a selective but powerful swell — forecasts are calling for size and 18-second intervals. Let’s gooooo!!!! Wave forecast for Playa Guiones:
