Description

Matapalo - Costa Rica Matapalo features powerful right-hand reef breaks over a rocky bottom, delivering hollow and fast waves ideal for experienced surfers. Located 18 kilometers southwest of Puerto Jimenez, access is via a well-maintained dirt road, though river crossings may pose challenges during the rainy season. The spot works best at mid to high tide. Nestled in a stunning rainforest setting, Matapalo is one of four notable point breaks in the area, with the potential for world-class surf during good swells. While the wave can be inconsistent, it offers a long ride that can leave surfers exhausted. The local atmosphere is vibrant yet territorial, with a mix of locals and ex-pats. Expect a beautiful environment filled with wildlife, but be prepared for limited lodging options and a remote experience. The surrounding area is tranquil, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking both adventure and natural beauty.
