Arrived yesterday afternoon, cant sleep so posting. At Asseradoras beach, pretty far north, the beach break out front was shoulder to head high, wind on it. Went out for a couple anyway, place packs a bit of a punch. Will see what today brings?

I'm planning on going to First Point Malibu the first heavily hyped South Swell. 
It's almost like a church!

That is one good surf film. We have the DVD and play it several times a year.I'm planning on going to First Point Malibu the first heavily hyped South Swell.

@JeffRSpicoli Back yet? Curious what the local vax/mask situation and Covid test-getting experience was like.
That's really, none of your dam business mister!Where are you going?
Where are your friends going?
My summer trip has absolutely nothing to do with surf. I surf too much already in world class waves at home, why pay money to go somewhere and do the same same?
Nah, if I can get someone to care for my mom for a week or two, I'm heading for my buddies home off grid in the Pyrenees. Due lives in a hunting shelter he turned into a full time residence inside a national park. Solar, for hot water and fotovoltaic, all the comforts of a normal home, only tucked away between alpine water falls and lakes. Had to have all the building equipment and supplies helicoptered in to the site. Couple of days hike from any other people, but completely surrounded by the two things we lack most here, tall trees with forrestal vegetation and huge amounts of fresh water everywhere.

Got a month free mid summer and trying to make the most of it and get some surf without it being purely a surf trip. Wife wants to go to Maldives but it seems like monsoon, band winds and iffy weather. Too much risk of dropping all that cash and getting skunked. Might end up doing France/Spain, into Bordeaux and out of Bilbao, probably not even worth bringing a board along.
I went last summer and the guides took me to a small town with a clinic that had a sadistic nurse that loved shoving the q-tip into my gringo skull. Results in 30min. but in my opinion it was a $50 donation to the clinic for a negative test result no matter what the Q-tip officially says.
Stayed at Mango’s and the Health Ministry did come by to check on the staff wearing masks but didn’t care about the guests.
Have had other friends travel on the Westside recently and had zero problems getting in and out of the country.
I'll be in Costa Rica in early July. one week near the volcano and one week on the coast at Nosara.
Going well, mostly challenging beachbreak, But surfed a decent reef/point this morning.
Homeward bound on Saturday.
No masks required, totally optional.
-never had to show proof of vaccination (as I recall a few IPAs prior to landing)
Testing to get back to States is 24 hour window prior to departure, so test tomorrow, fly home Saturday.
-super easy to get a test, I’ll let you know if the one I’m getting is ‘authorized’
Overall it’s been a completely seamless experience.
This sounds beautiful. I might give up surfing to live this life... OK, give it up for 6 months a year... OK, give it up for 3 months a year.My summer trip has absolutely nothing to do with surf.

Soundsa epic
Going Montana for a month bookended by a week at my parents' place this summer. No surf trips planned, but I did get invited to go to the boom in Nica at the end of May. Worth it?
I would say yes, if you like Central American beach breaks that can be semi closed out depending on swell and sand.
