Overview
About this Spot
Suizo is a surf spot located in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, right in front of Hotel Capitan Suizo and close to the town of Tamarindo. The spot is known for its sandy bottom and works best during high tide. The surf spot provides both left and right waves. Suizo is suitable for all levels, but it is especially good for longboarding and learning. The wave length is usually less than 50 meters and the spot sometimes breaks, so checking the surf forecast and report before heading out is important. The area is generally empty compared to nearby spots like Tamarindo, Playa Grande, Pico Grande, El Estero, and Playa Langosta, making it a good place to avoid crowds. The spot faces north and works best with south winds, with ideal swell directions from northwest, south, and west. Pollution can be an issue, so be aware of local conditions. Access to the spot requires a paddle of more than 20 minutes or a boat ride. Parking is available at the access alleys before and after Capitan Suizo. The vibe is relaxed, with families often enjoying the beach, and there are no reports of bad attitudes like in some other nearby spots. Always respect the locals, especially when the spot gets crowded, and make sure to follow surf etiquette. Check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions match your level.
