Reventazón is located on the south side of a headland and is known for picking up plenty of swell. It’s a spot that sees a lot of action from the ocean but is also pretty exposed to the winds. The beach stretches on for miles with a dirt track running alongside it, making it quite the trek for those looking to explore. The beachbreak isn’t the most exciting and can often be a bit messy, especially when the winds pick up. It’s best to check this place out on smaller days when conditions are calmer.

The optimal swell direction here is SouthWest, but it can also handle swells coming from the South and NorthWest. It works well with swell sizes starting at just about 2 feet (0.6 meters) and breaks over sand, providing both left and right wave options. The best time to surf here is during low to mid to high tide, and if the wind is coming from the NorthEast, that’s even better. While the spot can cater to beginners, it’s worth mentioning that the currents can be a bit strong, so some experience is recommended.

Reventazón’s environment means it’s better suited for those who are comfortable out on the water. Solo surfing can be an option, but it’s crucial to be aware of the currents. It’s not really a fun spot for complete newbies, especially on busier days. With its long beach and consistent waves, it can be a good place to practice, provided you’re ready to handle the conditions.
