Surf in Costa Rica

Striking Gold withn the Surf in Costa Rica

Surf in Costa Rica you ask? Here we have a series of shots taken during a small, fun sesh. At that particular time of the year it was low-season for swell. During the peak of the swell window, around typhoon season, this place has been known to have 30ft sets unloading and smashing over the top of the island that you can see in the background. It's an amazing spot, miles out on the outer reef of the island. The water is crystal clear and the reef below is inviting. There are gaps in the reef, where cool currents push out and along, and you can swim into them for moments at a time. It offered some relief from the sun and heat, as I'd choose not to go back to shade for the hottest section of the day, and come back later like in the arvo when it's cooler..... No, No, No. Have swell, will stay, all day.
