Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
Manzanillo is an exposed beach and reef break in Limon that offers quite reliable surf with both left and right-hand reef breaks, favoring the right. The most favorable conditions are a northeast windswell combined with offshore winds from the south-southwest. The spot is rarely crowded, but surfers should be aware of urchins, rips, rocks, and sharks. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in February.
