This Month's Tide Charts for South Pacific Costa Rica
Costa Ballena and the South Pacific offer the best surfing conditions: daily sunshine, big waves, and a laid-back atmosphere and lifestyle. Dominical has been specially developed into a real surfers' paradise—visit us and immerse yourself in Pura Vida!
Punta Uvita, Playa Chaman has excellent waves for first-time surfers to help you learn and get on board. Playa Hermosa has excellent waves for intermediate surfers, and for more advanced surfers, Punta Achiote and Playa Dominical are consistent and locals' favorite spots.
Dominical is the gateway and the first beach of Costa Ballena. It has a relaxed atmosphere and is well-known as a real surfer's paradise in surfing. If you are new to the sport, some schools give classes for enthusiasts.
The tide chart is one of our visitors' favorite pages. Knowing the ideal time to visit the whale tail at Marino Ballena National Park is essential and valuable for lovers of sports such as fishing and surfing.
The tide chart provides navigation information, but remember that weather conditions sometimes dramatically affect tidal ranges and current speeds.
