Surf Zones & Waves Playa Negra (walking distance): Extremely consistent right reef/point; fast, long, rip-able walls with hollow tube sections; take-off zone is over a flat rock that sits relatively deep making for an easy drop; dubbed the best reef break in Costa Rica by The Endless Summer II Playa Avellanas-ONLY 5 minute drive: 1 mile stretch of sand bottom beach that hosts all different quality waves & caters to all different skill level of surfers; from beginner to expert this place has it! There are at least four distinct waves (listed below from south to north). Lots of beach goers, day trippers, bikinis galore & a beach bar to top it off. It is the area’s local surf scene. A great spot to even just chill! Roca Burruja LEFTs: located right in front of the parking lot at Avellanas. It breaks over sand bottom with some mixed in rock. Never too large in size, easy in access & a good overall shape make this a great intermediate level surfing wave. However, be careful at lower tide-there is exposed rock! Roca Burruja- RIGHTs. Breaks right in front of famous LOLA’s beach bar & restaurant. A sand-bottom, right hand break that works well on incoming mid to high tide. Sets roll in and usually don’t close out until you can step off into the sand at the beach/ bar! A great wave to show off your skills to the packed beach of sun-bathing bikini babes at the bar! Its quite the scene! Sandy Beach: ¾ mile stretch of beach between LOLA’s Restaurant & the Rivermouth. Longboard & short board waves alike; soft and crumbly long forming waves breaking over sand bottom; similar to San Onofre minus the rocks. You still can get barreled. Crowds never seem to be any factor due to the log open stretch of beach with waves The Rivermouth: Lowers-like A-frame that breaks both left and right. The left is shorter, more hollow & the right is ultra playful & rip-able. Don’t let its rip-ability fool you; it has power so proceed accordingly. The wave shapes up from deep water, stands up and holds up until it closes out-usually right at the beach. Expect LONG rides & lots of turns on this ultra playful walled up wave. Crowds are minimal! Little Hawaii: Located a few hundred yards across the Rivermouth. Powerful right that needs a significant swell to break, turning on during a south; relatively mellow take off followed by a draining tube that spins off into a deep water channel. Crowds are mild, if at all! SHH… We have a Few Secrets Spots: We’ll take you to several spots that are still relatively unknown and often have little to no crowds. There is one wave in particular that is an extremely heavy beachbreak along the lines of Hossegor. Plan on getting some shade in the tube! See these photos of it: SHH!
Boat Accessible Only (Approx. $350-$400 per boat trip + $15pp National Park fees): Witch’s Rock: Ultra-playful rights and lefts that break seemingly forever up and down the 2-mile stretch of sandy white beach. An estuary breaks up an otherwise uniform sandbar, allowing waves to stand up and run as if each was on its own point. User-friendly and very rip-able, Witch’s is a blast for all levels of surfers. Ollie’s Point: Near the Nicaraguan border, this world class right point break is named after Oliver North’s use of the location to smuggle arms to the Contra rebels. Remember the “Iran Contra Affair?” The take-off zone is next to a series of rocks with a slow entry, the wave then stands up and races endlessly over a rocky bottom into deep water almost ensuring a long ride that doesn’t close until the beach.
