Playa Hermosa is one of Cost Rica’s
most consistent and heaviest spots with a variety of
sandbars up and down the 10 Km long beach. It is for
the intermediate to advanced surfer so if you are a
beginner there are other breaks in the area listed bellow.
Hermosa’s conditions change rapidly depending
on the tides, winds and swell activity. Two keys to
surfing Hermosa as well as the rest of Costa Rica: know
your daily tides and winds.
Generally speaking it stays glassy until 8:30 a.m. and
around 5 p.m. It is best to surf early morning with the
sun rising at 5 a.m. all year round.
Peak south/southwest swell through November although swell
enters all year round and can get big at anytime.
Hermosa tends to close out at 8”+, it is the that
you head to local reefs and points breaks listed bellow.
