Boca Damas surf guide

Boca Damas is a notable surf spot located near the town of Damas in Costa Rica. This location features a rivermouth setup that can offer a mix of different wave types. Surfers often prefer to access this spot via a boat from the developed city of Quepos due to the long walk, strong currents, and local wildlife. The stretch of beach itself has an appealing mix of sand and surf-friendly environment.

The surf at Boca Damas generally provides long, fast, and sometimes hollow lefts, along with shorter rights. The waves tend to be bigger here compared to nearby spots, making it a choice for surfers looking for more challenging conditions. The optimal swell direction is from the south, and the spot can handle swell sizes up to 2 feet (0.6 meters). A north wind is preferable, and the best surfing can be found during low, mid, or high tide. Keep in mind, this spot is best suited for expert surfers, as the conditions can be demanding.

Surfers at Boca Damas should note that the spot is particularly affected by tides, so timing is essential. Many find that the incoming tide gives the best session. While the surf can have its ups and downs, it's important to respect the local environment and be mindful of the currents. Just a heads-up: the local crocodiles can be a concern, hence the boat ride is often worth it to avoid any mishaps.
