Description

Sunset Reef - Mal Pais, Costa Rica Sunset Reef features a powerful left reef break over a rocky coral bottom, ideal for experienced surfers seeking hollow waves. Located at latitude 9.59675121 and longitude -85.14503002, this spot works best at low to mid tide, particularly during rising tide conditions. Accessed from Mal Pais by heading south to the Sunset Reef Hotel, this surf spot offers a wild atmosphere with challenging waves. The rough lava reef beneath the surface demands a solid skill set, making it unsuitable for beginners. With few surfers on weekdays and weekends, you can enjoy a more intimate surfing experience. Optimal conditions occur with an east wind and a significant swell, rewarding patient surfers with unforgettable barrels. Be prepared for the rocky dangers and respect the lineup to maximize your session at this exhilarating location.
