Tide chartsThis 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 specially developed into a real surfers’ paradise – visit us and immerse yourself in Pura Vida!

Punta Uvita, Playa Chaman has great waves for first-time surfers to help you learn and get on board. Playa Hermosa has great 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. It is important to know the ideal time to visit the whale tail at the Marino Ballena National Park, and it is also useful for lovers of sports such as fishing and surfing.

The tide chart is information to navigate, but remember that weather conditions affect tidal ranges and current speeds sometimes very dramatically.
