Cosmic rays arriving at Earth collide with the upper parts of the atmosphere, thereby
inducing extensive air showers. When secondary particles from the cascade arrive at the ground,
they are measured by surface detector arrays. We describe the methods applied to the measurements
of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory to reconstruct events with zenith angles
less than 60 using the timing and signal information recorded using the water-Cherenkov detector
stations. In addition, we assess the accuracy of these methods in reconstructing the arrival directions
of the primary cosmic ray particles and the sizes of the induced showers.
