January was a surrealistic surfer’s dream!  Moonlight surfing!!!  And, without wetsuits! The bonfires on the beach were blazing often, as everyone waited for the moon to throw some “light” on the ocean.  The bonfires were built for landmarks and socializing – not warmth!

The weather and the water were both perfect!  The waves were often perfect for an evening of a “once in a lifetime” experience for many of those on the beach.  Some Canadians visited from, “Good Grief, how many degrees below zero?” – I don’t think they stopped smiling or laughing the whole time! Some of our guests landed at a bonfire on the beach. They came back with a whole group of new friends!  What spectacular evenings! The stories of this surrealistic experience continue……Lifetime memories for everyone!

Just picked up our local paper, The Voice of Nosara, and want to quote the Local Surf Conditions, “With an El Nino year in full swing, the pacific storm season has already been active early on, with big winter swells hitting Central America…. consistent head high plus south swells came through lighting up the whole coast, providing some excellent waves. The Papagayo winds set in around the same time.  Epic conditions ensued.  These are good indicators for a potentially active swell season over the next few months.  Hopefully we should see a higher than usual number of south swells hitting our coastline this dry season.”

Staff and guests here have all been enjoying some excellent surfing. No need to bring your boards. There are surfboard rentals available at Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada at Nosara Surf Academy, Nosara Surf Shop, Surfing Safari, Coconut Harry’s and a few other places in town.
