Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming days down at Langosta.

The surf is small to start but builds to a solid, clean peak midweek. The standout is Tuesday afternoon, with a solid 5ft SSW groundswell packing real punch and clean conditions—that’s the pick of the window. Monday morning is a fine warm-up too, with 2ft SW groundswell and a clean offshore breeze. The combined swell energy hits 770, which is moderate, but the quality is there. Tuesday morning sees the swell bumping up to 4ft from the SW with a fresh offshore breeze out of the ENE – clean and building.

Tuesday afternoon is the real gem: 5ft from the SW, period at 18 seconds (nice long groundswell), light cross-off wind, and the combined energy reading is a strong 1263. For a beach, reef, and rivermouth setup like Langosta, that long period will wrap in nicely. Water temp is about average for the time of year.

Wednesday morning holds 4ft from the SSW, but the wind shifts cross-off and energy drops to 864. Still surfable but not as sweet. After that, the energy fades through Thursday and Friday, with waist-high 3ft south swell sticking around but the quality gets mixed – Thursday afternoon turns onshore and messy. Friday afternoon goes glassy with 3ft SW, small but clean.

The weekend (Saturday and Sunday) is tiny: 2ft to 3ft, with glassy spells on Sunday afternoon but very weak energy (306 to 448). By the second week—around Monday 13th July onward—the swell drops under 2ft and the energy readings fall into the low hundreds. There’s a few clean mornings but no real power. The best of the far-out window is Tuesday 21st July morning: 3ft SW, 16-second period, clean with a gentle cross-off, combined energy at 306. Worth a paddle if you’re keen, but it’s a long way out and forecasts can shift.

Overall, Tuesday afternoon is the one to circle. Clean, solid, and that long-period SW groundswell will make Langosta work. Get it while it’s good.

Rusty.

Information about the Langosta Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Langosta provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Langosta can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Langosta surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Langosta) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Langosta may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Langosta is 46 km (29 miles) from Nicoya. If you plan a holiday in Guanacaste, look for hotels and other accommodation in Nicoya. Nicoya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
