OstionalĪ very fun and tall peak that stays pretty uncrowded during the whole year. 10ft peaks break right on the sandy beach, best on SW-NW swell and E wind. LangostaĪ bit further South, Langosta is slightly less crowded, but the waves are still star quality. It's way safer and easier to surf during mid to high tide, SW-NW swell and E wind. Pretty crowded, even out of season, Avellana produces a nasty 12ft right-hand reefbreak on a small swell. Beware of petty crime and low quality roads in this area though.

Golfo de Nicoya has become really popular with surf schools and surf camps because of these rare conditions and the exotic lush wildlife surrounding it. Not as crowded and affected by mass tourism as Guanacaste, but still on the Pacific coast and home to awesome, long poinbreaks and fun little beachbreaks.
