πŸ“ Local Knowledge

El Estero is a consistent exposed river break in Guanacaste, favoring right-hand waves. The most favorable conditions are a west-northwest groundswell with offshore winds from the east. The break works best around mid-tide. The spot is often crowded, and surfers should be aware of sharks. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in January.
