El Carmen or Playa Carmen is an exposed beach and reef break in Golfo de Nicoya that offers dependable surf with both left and right-hand beach breaks. The most favorable conditions are a west-northwest groundswell combined with offshore winds from the northeast. The spot is sometimes crowded, and surfers should be aware of strong rips. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in January.
