Playa Ostional Surfing
Beyond the mesmerizing turtle events, Playa Ostional offers fantastic surf conditions. Positioned as a beach/reef break, it generates both left and right waves, depending on the swell direction. The ideal surfing conditions occur at mid to high tide with a southwest swell. Located just north of Nosara, this spot is a favorite among surfers seeking quality waves and a unique coastal experience.
Balancing Surf and Conservation
Playa Ostional is not only a haven for surf enthusiasts but also a crucial nesting ground for sea turtles. While the turtles frequent this protected area year-round, there are specific periods of massive arrivals. During these times, surfing activities are restricted to ensure the safety of these magnificent creatures.
