Within Coco itself or just an hour's drive away, you can experience the three best surfing locations that Costa Rica has to offer on the Pacific Coast. Let's take a look at surfing in Costa Rica:
Playas del Coco - in our sleepy little town of Coco (but not at night!), visitors can take surfing lessons or take in the breaking surf at Ollie's Point or Witch's Rock
Playa Naranjo - close to Witch's Rock & Ollie's Point, but a rough 10-mile 4x4 ride in and no accommodations so it's better to stay and depart from Coco by boat
Tamarindo - offers a great surf just off Playa Tamarindo but it's a bit more expensive to stay and play when it comes to trendy restaurants and accommodations
When is the best time to go surfing in Costa Rica? The best waves are crashing from March to November while locals tend to skip over October as it's the rainiest month in Guanacaste.
What do you need to bring to go surfing in Costa Rica? Your board, straps to attach your board to your rental car, a ding kit as they're aren't many board repair shops in the area, and a general first aid kit in the name of being prepared. According to the locals, generally a wet suit is not required ;)
Cheers from Costa Rica!
