Spot info
- Town: Jacó (Puntarenas)
- Water: Sea
- Sports: Surf
- Best wind directions: NEENEENNNE
The closest surf beach to San José, and Costa Rica's busiest: a long, grey-sand beach break that picks up most south and south-west Pacific swells. Small and friendly on most days, which is why surf schools crowd it; it closes out when the swell is big. Mornings are cleanest, before the afternoon onshore. Rips run along the beach at size.
