The following are some of the recommended surfing spots for Costa Rica Central Pacific Coast. Boca Barranca Beach has a river mouth that gets you long left point breaks and is considered to be among Costa Rica top ten surfing wave beaches. When Boca Barranca Beach is at its best it can stretch up to a kilometer. Surfing Boca Barranca Beach is recommended on the south swell at low tide. You have to go surfing very early because of the later crowds of surfers that arrive to Boca Barranca.

Playa Tivives has a variety of surfing beach breaks to rocky points with quality rights and lefts.

Puerto Caldera has really good lefts. Jaco Beach has decent beach breaks but the surf is small. Waves usually close out over five feet and are not consistent. Hermosa Beach in Guanacaste has strong beach break but surfing conditions there are not really consistent. The waves are better at Hermosa Beach when the tide is rising. At low and high tides great tubular waves can form at Hermosa Beach.

Manuel Antonio Beach has beach break with good left and right shapes. The only thing about surfing at Manuel Antonio Beach is that it requires a large swell for surfing conditions to appear.

Playa Escondida is a beach can only be reached by boat, so you will have to charter a boat to get here. The best thing about Playa Escondida is that it can work well with almost any swell direction, but the swells from the south are the best as they can produce left breaks that can go up to 100 yards. Playa Escondida also has perfect tubing reef point breaks that can peak up to form strong left breaks and ok right breaks.
