La Selva surf guide

Surf: General: A mile walk through a private farm leads you to a wide, white and golden sand beach stretched out in the wilderness that has a bunch of hollow A-frames up and down its expanse. When it's bigger from the N/NE, there's a sandy right reef/point that wraps in around the shoreline into a fully schwackable wall. It's reasonably consistent swell-wise, and sorta protected from the tradewinds. Tides: Any Size: Head high-double overhead Wind: South Swell: NW, N, NE Bottom: Sand and reef Paddling: Depends on the size of the surf. Spot Rating: A very good wave when it is working. Access: Park at the end of the farmer's field under the highway overpass and walk. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Pretty spread out. Local Vibe: Fairly mellow, but don't bring valuables or leave them unattended! Environment: Not bad. Hazards: Car rip-offs. Season: Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.
