Drake’s Bay is a remote surf spot tucked away in the rain forest, offering a unique setting for those looking to escape the usual surf crowds. Since it's a bit pricey to get to and stay here, you’ll often find the waves mostly to yourself. The area is known for its beautiful and wild environment. With several breaks to discover, there’s plenty to explore for surfers willing to venture in.

The surf here is best with a southwest swell direction, though it can handle swells coming from the south and west as well. You can expect waves that work well in the range of 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and can break over uneven reef and sand. The waves tend to form points with left-handers being the main direction. For optimal conditions, the tide can be low, mid, or high, and the preferred wind direction is from the east. This spot is really suited for those with at least an intermediate skill level.

Since Drake’s Bay is set in such a secluded location, it offers an authentic wilderness surfing experience. Be prepared to spend some time searching for the best breaks. It’s a great chance to enjoy the natural beauty while catching some waves away from the hustle and bustle of more popular surf spots.
