SURFING TRIPS TO WITCHES & OLLIES POINT
Surfing in Costa Rica is a must destination for surfers all around the world and is every surfers dream. Come and surf the two favorite breaks: Witches Rock and Ollie's Point (above), both located in Guanacaste's Rosa National Park.
Witches Rock has a left and right break with a sandy bottom. This spot is best surfed at mid/high tide. Witches is a 30 minute boat ride from Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste. Check out www.costaricatides.com for the your tide report.
Ollie's Point is a 20 minute ride north of Witches Rock. This break is best surfed at low/mid tide and has a sandy, reef bottom. Ollie's Point is one of the most northern points on the west coast of Costa Rica with a world class surf break as seen in the movie "The Endless Summer". Ollie's Point is named after U.S. Military General Oliver North for his role in the Iran-Contra Affair. This area is close to where North sold illegal weapons via intermediaries to Iran and channeled the profits to the Contras in Nicaragua. I doubt Ollie did any surfing.....
