With a notable improvement in weather conditions that brought sun, heat and a large number of fans to Playa Jacó, the third day of the Essential Costa Rica Surf Pro began.

Following the passage of the storm that hit the Pacific coast of Costa Rica in recent days, the states of alert that were declared by the National Emergency Committee of Costa Rica have been lifted.

Wave conditions also improved, allowing for another day of good maneuvers and barreling in 4-5 foot waves.

On her way to the quarterfinals, Puerto Rico's representative Tia Blanco earned the best score among the Latin American competitors, with 17.23 points. The best score in the Women's category was Meah Collins of the United States (17.54 pts.). Another standout was Leticia Canales of Spain, who earned 16.70 points in Round 2.

Brazil's Luel Felipe scored 16.27 points, the best score of the day in the Men's division, while Venezuela's Jose Joaquin Lopez was the best in the Men's Round 2 and the second best score of the day, with a total of 15.77 points.

The first call will be tomorrow at 8:00am for a possible start at 8:30am. The women's quarterfinals will kick off the last day of the event.
