Costa Rica offers great surf year-round, perfect for beginners, intermediates, and advanced surfers.

Where to surf in Santa Teresa?

  • High Season – Playa Carmen: Our closest beach, Playa Carmen, is just a few minutes’ walk from the camp. This sandy beach is ideal for all levels and lets you practice outside lessons when conditions are good.

  • Wet Season – Playa Hermosa: During the wet season, we usually surf at Playa Hermosa, a short drive from the camp. With a sand-bottom break, it offers consistent waves for all skill levels.

  • Advanced Surfing – Sunset Reef: Advanced surfers can explore Sunset Reef, a left-hand reef break located near the camp. It’s perfect for honing your reef-breaking skills.

What surf equipment do I need in Costa Rica?

All surf equipment is included if you book a surf package with us.

  • If you prefer your own board, we recommend bringing it. You can also try our selection of boards to test different sizes during your stay.

  • For “stay only” bookings, surf equipment can be rented directly at the camp.

  • The water is warm year-round, so you can surf in bikinis or boardshorts.

  • Protect yourself from the sun with a rash guard, hat, leggings, or other gear.
