AGUA TIBIA
Surf trips

You probably have heard of many other waves nearby Nosara, or wondering about expanding your surf spots list and exploring new waves with friends & Family.

New places mean new experiences, new roads, there is a lot of uncertainty about what to expect from this type of surf trips, but luckily you are in the best hands with Agua Tibia’s Surf guides.

​

Explore Playa Nosara, Playa Garza point breaks, Ostional, Marbella, Playa Negra, Avellanas, Langosta, Playa grande or why not let’s take a full day or overnight Surf trip going to Witch’s Rock & Olie’s Point.

Witch’s Rock, Ollie’s & other secret spots

  • Witch’s Rock & Ollie’s Point surf breaks are the perfect surf trip / day trip!  While it is occasionally accessible to beginners, we only recommend this trip for intermediate and advanced surfers for your safety.

     

    Witch’s Rock, also known in Spanish, Roca Bruja, is a heavy wave in open ocean.  There are multiple peaks so you get a shot at left- and right-hand waves.  It became famous in the film Endless Summer and has been a must-surf for advanced surfers looking to score great waves ever since!

  • Ollie’s Point is a (slightly) lesser-known surf break made famous in Endless Summer 2, but equally as awesome.  It is a right-hand point break that offers rides up to 300 meters long during the correct season.

     

    These two breaks work on different tides and swells, making them a great combination for a full day of surfing on the open ocean!  Our experienced local captain will determine what break or breaks to take you to based on the conditions.

Playa Garza and other surf trips (by boat)

  • Playa Garza is located on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

    It sits south of the community of Nosara and is separated from Nosara’s principal beach, Playa Guiones by Punta Guiones, a headland. It’s an approximate 6.5 kilometer, 10 minute drive to Playa Garza from Nosara.

    • Las Barras Point Break (Long right and short left wave)

    • Izquierda Secret Spot Point Break (Long left wave)

    • Izquierda Mini Pavones Point Break (long left wave)

     

    All these waves break over rocks and therefore we have a window of time to surf here, our surf guides will make sure to bring you out at the right time and tide, winds can have a lower impact on these waves for being less expose to the coastline.

     

    These three breaks work on different tides and swells, making them a great combination for a half day of surfing on the open ocean!
    Our experienced local captain will determine what break or breaks to take you to based on the conditions, Certain times of the year, it will be only la Barra , while others you may surf all three Mini Pavones & La Barra or Izquierda.

    • We ask to be at the shop 20 minutes before the departure time to load the surfboards and all the equipment on your car or our transportation.

    • The transportation is 10 minutes to Garza, then we take the surfboards down and get ready on land, waxing, sunblock etc., we will hop on a taxi boat with an outboard motor first, if the group is big we will the pass to a bigger boat or we will stay on the Panga if we have a small group, the boat ride will take either 10 minutes or 20 minutes depending on the wave we are surfing at first.
