Costa Rica News – (Surf Report July 11th and July 12th) – We are going to give you the surf forecast for Costa Rica and we have our new Model of the Week. This weekend is one that big wave surfers have been waiting for in Costa Rica on the Caribbean side. The Pacific side is pretty small this weekend but on the Caribbean side there are double overhead sets rolling in this weekend in Costa Rica. We have also added surf video from Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. Brought to you by The Costa Rica Surf Zone
