Tortuguero Beach is a remote surf spot located in Costa Rica, nestled within the vast Tortuguero National Park. This beach offers a mix of solitude and natural beauty, stretching out for miles. Accessing the more northern breaks can be done by taking a boat from Puerto Moin. It's less crowded compared to other surf destinations, which can be a plus if you're looking for some peace and quiet while catching some waves.

The surf here can be quite average, but there are times when it can surprise you. The optimal swell direction is from the Northeast, with swells generally coming in from the Northeast and East. The waves can handle sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and typically break over sand, making it suitable for beginners. You’ll get both left and right waves, which is great for trying out different riding styles. The best conditions usually come with a SouthWest wind, and it can work at low, mid, and high tide, depending on the day. Just keep in mind that the overall surf quality can be inconsistent.

As for the environment, the beach has been impacted by the new harbor construction, but it can create some protected corners under certain conditions. The rivermouth area can offer some rights, although it's worth mentioning that these might not always be the cleanest. With a mix of lonely beach stretches and some fun learning opportunities for beginners, Tortuguero is worth checking out if you're in the area.
