Witch's Rock & Ollie's Point Surf Trip from Tamarindo: The Complete Guide

Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point are two of the most famous surf breaks in Central America, made legendary by the surf film Endless Summer II. Both sit inside Santa Rosa National Park in northern Guanacaste and can only be reached by boat, which keeps the crowds small and the waves uncrowded. Here's how to surf them on a trip from Tamarindo.

Where are Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point?

Witch's Rock (Roca Bruja) is a powerful beach break at Playa Naranjo, named after the giant rock that sits just offshore. Ollie's Point is a long, peeling right-hand point break a short boat ride north. Both are in Santa Rosa National Park, with no roads or buildings, just untouched beaches and jungle.

How the surf trip works

On our Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point surf tour, you're picked up from your hotel in Tamarindo or Langosta and driven by private shuttle to Playas del Coco. From there, a private boat takes your group about an hour up the coast to Witch's Rock for your surf session. With the Ollie's Point option, you also surf the famous right-hander. Not surfing? Non-surfers can snorkel or fish while the group surfs.

What surf level do I need?

These waves are best for intermediate and advanced surfers who can paddle out and catch waves on their own. If you're still learning, start with our Tamarindo surf lessons first.

Best time to surf Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point

Witch's Rock works best with offshore winds, which blow strongly from about December to April. Ollie's Point needs a good south swell and is usually at its best from about April to October. Your trip is planned around the tide and swell forecast for the best session possible.

How much does the surf trip cost?

Trips start from $55 per person and are priced by group size, as the boat is private for your group.
