More about La Selva surfspot

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.

Intermediate to advanced

Park at the end of the farmer's field under the highway overpass and walk.

Late summer and fall for tropical cyclone swells but late fall through early spring for consistency.

Crowd Factor: Pretty spread out. Local Vibe: Fairly mellow, but don't bring valuables or leave them unattended!

Not bad.

Car rip-offs.
