Surfing
Boca Barranca
|
| Break
Description |
| Boca
Barranca is a long left pointbreak in front of a
rivermouth, when it's working the ride can last
almost a kilometer! Considered the second longest
wave in Costa. Excellent longboard wave, and for
hitting the lip on a shortboard.
You
can see the break and people surfing from the road
when crossing that small bridege in Puntarenas. |
| Catching
it Good |
Best
on a south swell at low tide. Also it's best to
surf it early to avoid crowds and catch it glassy.
The wind usually comes onshore in the early afternoon.
|
| Getting
There |
| Very
accessable and easy, a 4x4 is NOT needed..
From San Jose: Get on the Carretara Interamericana
(Interamarican Highway or HWY1) going North.
There will be signs leading all the way there.
If
you are coming from the Jaco direction, it's 2 kms
past Caldera. |
| Advice |
| The
water from the river can be very dirty, be sure and
shower off thouroghly after your surfing. |
