The Surf at Tamarindo

Almost all of the surf spots in Tamarindo are within a 10-15-minute walk of each other up the main playa. One or two are located just outside of town on the more exposed western beaches, or a touch to the north. You might want to make the journey out to those if you like to dodge the crowds or are a bit more advanced.

Palmeras

Chilled Palmeras is the most northerly part of Tamarindo Bay. It’s super-duper chilled compared to the party-pumping town below, with just a few villas and relaxed tropical B&Bs behind the sand.

The waves here tend to be small little sandbar peelers that are perfect for learners and hotdogging shortboarders. The crowd is usually fun, too. There aren’t always waves on offer at this point, but if the swell is small then it’s an easy walk to the south for…

 Playa Grande Main Peak

Go surf with the sea turtles at Playa Grande’s pretty epic Main Peak. It only takes about 35 minutes to walk there from Tamarindo town. That helps to thin out the lineup and sorts the kooks from the kahunas if you catch our drift. It’s actually a great break for the more advanced surfers.

With a dash of rock reef in the bay that helps to shape up the sets that come in the SW channels to form nice A-frames, you’re looking at fun rides on steep walls as they emerge onto the sandbanks. This is best with strong south swells with an easterly offshore and height of about 5-7 foot. That’s perfect for the hollower waves that will section very nicely. Good intermediates and up.

Casitas

An A-frame forms on the north side of the Estero River and it’s a good one, too. The left is better, can be pitching and hollowish in sections but generally fun for all levels when it’s in the 4-7 foot range. On larger days it can close out pretty easily. Usually not that many people out here, which is nice.

Estero rivermouth

A little further up the beach is the Estero rivermouth, what we’d call the highlight of Tamarindo’s main playa. It shifts the sandbars around like anyone’s business. On the best days, you’re looking at very fast lefts and right that come of both sides of the channel.

The rights are by far the best, though. When the stars (aka sands) align, you’re talking narrow barrel waves that’ll draw you over a very shallow shelf into a tiny green room before regurgitating you into a tapering shoulder that can last 50m or more. It’s a cracking wave for more advanced surfers when it’s on.

Playa Tamarindo

The main Tamarindo surf break sits right in front of the town. Seriously, it’s a short stroll from your hostel to the waves. It’s a consistent peak that’s got more relaxed conditions on account of a NW orientation (those hardcore SW swells have to wrap around to get in the bay). The result is a long stretch of really mellow breakers that are suited to beginners or loingboarders.

Pico Grande

 Pico Grande is the big brother of Pico Pequeno forms of a similar stretch of rock reef that gets submerged by around mid tide in Tamarindo. It’s not surfable until well past that and excels on a push with the SW channels flaring up. It’s got good reliability because you only need some westerly groundswell here, so winter also offers something from the NW quadrant.

When things get overhead – as they often down in June and August here –  Pico Grande offers a extremely punchy wedge that’ll pull you in quickly with a lot of take-off force. If you can manage the steep drop in (shortboard only really) then you can ride a quick barrel out onto a short rippable shoulder that’s there for the carving. Experienced surfers only please.

Pico Pequeno

A strictly high-tide spot with waves that form off the rocks that go under when the water comes deeper into Tamarindo bay, Pico Pequeno is a fine intermediate option. It can hold really well and loves a strong westerly swell, which it refracts off the stones underfoot to offer neat wedges with predominantly left shoulders. It can get rippable but is usually powerful because it’s a head-on break that sucks on the groundswells.

Henry’s Right & Henry’s Left

Henry’s Left: A quick left on lava reef that can sometimes see just a few inches between fin and rock. It’s not for the beginners and rarely a great quality wave. Good for practicing reef surfing if you already know what you’re doing. Only at high tide.

Henry’s Right: With a tad more clearance than it’s compadre on the left, the right at Henry’s is a larger, wedgier wave that rises on the lava reed and quickly gets fat. There’s room for one or two turns before the water shallows out. Fun but rarely epic.

Capitan Suizo

Capitan Suizo is a beginner-level break at the top end of Playa Langosta. It gets the first hit of the wrap-in SW swells and takes a secondary swell that comes off the point of the island nearby. They aren’t powerful and offer nice flat surfaces to glide onto after a slow take-off. They can be long, too, with rides of over 200m on offer to those who know how to connect up the sections. All very fun. All very easy.

Playa Langosta

Playa Langosta isn’t anywhere near as good as Playa Tamarindo – the beach here is just too exposed and doesn’t have the mix of breaks that you get in the main beach. There is one spot worth of note: Sapo. A little thread of reef that starts working around an hour before low tide, it’s a decent A-frame with peeling lefts. That said, this will be the first place to close out if it’s pumping, so look for days with smaller swells.
