Waves of up to 3.20 meters (10.5 feet) are hitting Puntarenas beaches this week. Beachgoers and coastal residents are urged to exercise caution and prepare for potential flooding.
High tides are expected starting Tuesday along Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Experts say they'll come with big waves and, combined with rain, could cause flooding.
The highest tides of the year along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast flooded hundreds of homes in the early hours of Tuesday and Wednesday, mostly in Puntarenas province.
