Welcome to the largest beach town in Costa Rica's Guanacaste Province, Tamarindo
Capitan Suizo is a beginner-level break at the top end of Playa Langosta. Perfect for lessons. Waves aren’t powerful and offer nice flat surfaces to glide onto after a slow take-off. All very fun. All very easy. Have fun!
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. Pico Grande: big and beauty, Barrels and Rocks
The River Mouth is the advanced break in Tamarindo. Walk all the way up to the river and head out at the mouth for some power and fun waves. Mostly rights, but there can be fun lefts into Casitas as well. Barrels can form at low tide with off shore winds. Almost any tide is decent for this area, but mid/high tide is best.
To get to this spot, you need to cross the Tamarindo River. Just take a short ride with one of the taxi boats that are always there for 1000 Colones (unless you want to take your chances with the crocks). Then, walk for about 5 more minutes, and you are there. Wonderful frame peak with a few people to share the waves
Located 1 km South from Playa Tamarindo, you’ll find a smaller beach that doesn’t see as many crowds. Making it a more quiet, peaceful spot than the city’s main beach. At this stretch of beach, you will experience big waves that offer both left- and right-hand breaks. The river mouth of Rio San Francisco offers some radical waves for experienced surfers. Fantastically powerful surf breaks that are a challenge even to veterans, but a fun and exhilarating one at that .
