Local Knowledge & Surf Guide

Local Knowledge

Roca Alta is an exposed right-hand reef break in Limon that offers fairly consistent surf. The most favorable conditions are a northeast windswell combined with offshore winds from the south-southwest. The spot is sometimes crowded, and surfers should be aware of rips, jellyfish, and coral. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in February.
