LOCATION BREAK DOWN
Interested in a surf retreat but not sure what location to choose? This is a short guide sharing a bit about each of our locations and what each place has to offer.
PLAYA GRANDE COSTA RICA
WAVES: Classic beach break set up, 2-3ft range through the winter months, with the occasional 3-4+ foot days. November - March generally on the smaller side for fun playful surf and plenty of space to avoid crowds.
TRAVEL: We are located about an hour and a half from Liberia International Airport. With direct flights from over a dozen US cities, you can be here in 6 hours.
PROXIMITY TO SURF: Private beach access 5 minutes from your room and the surf break is right out front. If you are looking for an easy surf trip without setting foot in a car all week, this is the spot for you.
LEVEL: First timer to advanced sand bottom with peaks up and down the 3-mile-long white sand bay.
WEATHER: December through March is considered the dry season. During these months, rainfall is very low or minimal, skies are generally clear, and sunshine is abundant. This is the best beach and outdoor weather of the year in Guanacaste. Average temperature 80-90 degrees.
OSA PENISULA
WAVES: The waves here are all about the points, 3 or more righthand point breaks within 20 minutes and one right out front. Generally, 3–4-foot range. Perfect for long boards, mid lengths and fishes as well as shortboards when it’s a bit bigger.
TRAVEL: International flight into San Jose Costa Rica, 45-minute domestic flight into Puerto Jimenez. Our accommodations are about 30 minutes from the Puerto Jimenez Airport.
PROXIMITY TO SURF: Waves right out front of our beach front accommodations or 10–20-minute drive through the dense rainforest to 3 other point breaks and a beach break as well.
LEVEL: Advanced beginner and up
WEATHER: Literally where the jungle meets the ocean, you can expect clear mornings with afternoon showers, average temp 85-88. Overall, it feels lush, tropical, and very green, with warm ocean temperatures and high humidity
EL SLAVADOR
WAVES: This is what surf dreams are made of, a perfect peeling point break, long walls and great for working on turns, speed and some tube potential out there as well.
TRAVEL: Fly into San Salvador international airport where you will be shuttled 3 hours to the southern part of the country at Punta Mango.
PROXIMITY TO SURF: 100 steps down to the beach and a 3-minute walk to the main point.

WEATHER: November is the end of rainy season here is El Salvador. Occasional afternoon showers, warm water, and average air temperature 80-86 degrees.
PUERTO RICO
WAVES: There is something for everyone here in Puerto Rico. Our beginner break is sandbar where the wave breaks into crystal clear Caribbean water with sea turtles all around. For advanced beginners and up we know all the spots and often we surf alone.

PROXIMITY TO SURF: We are 5-20 minutes from multiple different surf spots depending on the swell size and conditions.
LEVEL: Beginner to advanced
WEATHER: In a nutshell, perfect. Scattered afternoon tropical showers, rainbows galore, average temperature mid 80’s but the Tradewinds keep it fresh.
