Local’s Surf Guide: Playa Grande

Located only 20 minutes from Tamarindo, Playa Grande is one of the main beaches where locals love to shred. With high-quality and versatile waves, it's suitable for various styles and levels of surfing, consistently offering a good balance of conditions — from their shape and size to power and ride length. In Costa Rica, we have waves 365 days a year, but for Malakai, the favorite time is right now, with perfect shape, size, A-frames, offshore winds all day making it sunny yet cooler. Like any new beach you visit, remember to keep it respectful. Surfing smarter means knowing how to share. Check out our surf guide, and let us know if there's another beach you want to learn about.
