About

Stop there on every trip to Costa to check it out. It needs a big south swell to work, but when its going off (sadly quite rare...), one of the best places to be!

Atmosphere:
Super fun loooooooong lefts.  Some sections quicker than others, but all very makeable.
Pretty mellow hot dog or longboard wave.  Usually, a friendly vibe in the water but can get real crowded when good as it's the closet break to San Jose and world class when on.

Additional Info:
Take first left and double back next to bridge drive to the end and pay the old guy behind the fence 1000 colones  to park.  Other parking is avail. but expect your
car to be broken into.  High theft area.  River runoff makes water brown but not as polluted as it used to be.  When on, 800 yard waves are possible.  Watch out for crocs in the river they've been known to swim out to the lineup!

Some lodging available in guest houses just north of the big resort (way over priced). Take the road to the resort (left branch on main hwy) and drive past.  Gated houses on the left rent cabinas. Off
season about  a night in summer 2000.
