Witch's Rock

The break.

Beach breakIntermediateMixed

Roca Bruja, the park

A beach break around a rock in Santa Rosa National Park, northern Guanacaste. Witch's Rock is Roca Bruja, a park wave, howlers in the trees, turtles in season. You get there by boat or a rough road. The town is not next to the peak.

When.

November to April

Pacific swell in the northern winter. The rock is the landmark, not a reef pass.

Worth knowing.

1. 1. This is a park. You pay, you leave it as you found it, you do not camp where they say no.
2. 2. Boat from Playas del Coco is the common way. The road is a plan, not a shortcut.
3. 3. Ollie's Point is up the coast, a different wave, a different day.
4. 4. Northern winter is the window. The beach can close out. Watch a set from the sand.

Go.
