Moving down the coast is Tamarindo, which has been catching the attention of surfers for years, both for its waves and its laid-back vibe. Tamarindo is a wide bay with a rivermouth in the middle. At the northern end is Playa Grande, which is an excellent beachbreak and famous turtle breeding ground, (these beautiful, friendly locals are often in the line up). Playa Grande is a twenty minute walk or forty minute drive from Tamarindo and the splendid Hotel Las Tortugas is worth a visit.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
