Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
Playa Caletas is an exposed reef break in Golfo de Nicoya that offers consistent right and left-hand reef breaks, with the right being the best. The most favorable conditions are a west-northwest groundswell combined with offshore winds from the northeast. The spot can get busy when the surf is up, and surfers should be cautious of rips and rocks. The best time for consistent, clean waves is during the winter months, particularly in January.
