Punta Barigona is a surf spot located in Costa Rica that offers a mix of different wave types. It's known for its long lefts that can break nicely, especially during a decent-size SW swell. The spot can attract surfers looking for a change of pace, with Bahia Barigona nearby that provides a lovely deep bay for those who want some calmer waves or tide pools to explore.

The best waves at Punta Barigona work with SouthWest swells, but it also handles swells coming from the South and West. You can expect fun waves around the 3ft (about 1 meter) mark. The surf breaks over both uneven reef and sand, making it adaptable for various conditions. It's mainly a point break, and while the waves can offer some decent walls, it's good to note that the best sessions tend to happen at mid to high tide. Winds blowing from the East are favorable here. It's important to have at least intermediate skills, as the outside waves can be tricky to read.

While it's a decent spot, Punta Barigona does lack consistency, so don't expect epic conditions every time. For those looking to improve, the smaller waves around Mar Azul can be more forgiving. Just keep an eye on the swell forecasts and be ready for a mix of wave types.
