Surf Conditions at Terrazas
These waves are best surfed at low uprising tide. The bottom is sandy with rocks. During low tide some rocks stick out of the surface. Just be sure to check where they are and they won’t be a thread. This wave works with swells from the Northwest and the Southwest. It is a quick wave that often barrels, you should be fast during the drop in. On the northern tip is a fast wave breaking to the right, a point break. A bit further to the South there are several lefts and rights, a beach break.
This surf spot has hosted several international surf contests, both day and night, making it a celebrated venue in the global surfing community. Its unique combination of challenging waves and beautiful surroundings makes it a must-visit destination for surfers visiting Costa Rica.
