SURF CONDITIONS
Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots
With a decent swell several good spots break in Tamarindo itself, including Estero’s consistent, fast rivermouth peaks, as well as smaller, beginner-friendly, straight-hander beachbreaks and several reef breaks like Pico Pequeño, Diria and Henry’s, all well situated for SW-NW swells, but always crowded when on.
