Not sure if you've ever been to Nosara/Playa Guiones, but you'll have a great time! I've actually been going there for the last three years. Everyone really cool and the breaks are really consistent (the local tell me way more consistent than Tamarindo). If you haven't check out www.surfingnosara.com. They have had some serious swells come through this winter. As for other places to surf, the whole Nicoya *****ula is really good.
You have a car? How long you going for? There are a bunch of spots around there, just depends on how much you want to explore and how long you are going for.
costa rica i just came back from there if u headin to the south definitely check out this place called domonical its a good break with big waves but make sure you go at LOW tide or its horrible if you go up north then Withes rock is good but alittle crouded ollies point is a good place to check to but it;s only acesilble by boat but its less crouded PLAYA NEGRA is a pretty decent break also
Rent ATVs and explore You can rent ATVs in Nosara and explore the beach to find a decent, empty break in the area.
all my friends just went to costa today to jaco beach. i was suppossed to go, but sometimes the bank has other ideas...
thanks yeah we are going to ollies point and tamerindo i am satying there for 10 days but mostly at a break called guiones
playa negra is around tamorindo. fast, right reef break, great wave. playa grande, 2 mile walk from tamorindo, very fun peaky, beach break, generally bigger than tamorindo.
Avellanas, Marbella are both super fun. Marbella is tough to get to w/o a boat but it's really worth it. My friend just surfed 4 Ft overhead at Ollies lasst week.
costa rica hey lost going to costa rica myself on saturday. We will be in nosara/guiones for 5 days starting on monday. small world--hope to see you there!!
Grande If you're staying in Tamarindo then go to Grande or Casitas. Both breaks are across the estuary. Casitas is directly across the estuary and grande is about 1.5-2 miles down the beach. Definitely take food and water if you make the walk to grande - it gets HOT.
Costa Rica If you do go to Witches and Ollie's, it will not hurt to bring a 1-2 mil top. Went in November 07 and the offshore 20+ mph wind and cold water upwellings made it a bit chilly.... Also, bring an additional copy of your passport for the boat trip.... Last note, when you land in CR, go pay your exit taxes (i think its $18) asap. You can pay them at any bank in CR or at the airport..... Nothing sucks worse than missing a flight because your stuck in the exit tax line on your last day!!
ugh can wait. but i leave 12 30 tonight for philly than have to be there at 3 and the flight leaves at 6
