Surfing Spots In Guanacaste North Pacific Costa Rica

Guanacaste and the Nicoya Peninsula from the Surf Spot N° 1 Ollie’s Point up to N° 45) Las Pangas – Playa Montezuma: you can catch the best waves from September until March. Even though there are waves all year round these are the best months for the region since winds blow in from the east during this time of year. These winds are known as off shore winds. It’s also the best time to get access to the area since the rainy season is from the months of March through to September and most of the surf spots are only accessible with the use of a 4 x 4 vehicle. The Pacific North coast is blessed with off shore winds and is notorious for easily trapping Northwest swells. When these two elements come together they form a most magical coast line.
