Foxter Bike Review With Jeff

YouTube Video VVV6TGJrX3JLLVRzOTQ5LXNhTy1ncU1BLjU2QjQ0RjZEMTA1NTdDQzY=

If you're a beginner surfer who's never surfed before or only had a handful of lessons under your belt, you're going to want to take a moment on the sand before plunging into the water.

In today's video, one of our highest requested surf instructors, Jorge Luis, give some pointers on what to look for before paddling out.

What type of break is the surf spot? Tamarindo is a beach break with a sandy bottom. The sandbar will change from season to season but the sandy bottom is ideal for beginner surfing.

What is the tide doing?. There is a 6 hour difference between low and high tide. The best time to surf in Tamarindo is from mid - high tide. This is when there is more water and less chance of injury when you fall.

Watch the sets. Sets are a series of bigger waves that come every so often. How many waves are in the set? How consistent are the sets of bigger waves com through? How big are the sets?

What is the wind doing? Is it blowing offshore creating perfect waves and barrels or is it onshore making the waves a little more mushy and disorganized.

Safety Tips for Tamarindo. Stay away from he river mouth (north) because of stronger currents and away from the rocks (south). There is a strip of beach (about 300 meters) that is a perfect sandy bottom and ideal for learning.

Know where the Lifeguards are. There is a lifeguard tower with personnel from 6am - 6pm everyday. They are located right in front of the surf camp and look over the beginner's beach break.

What to Look for Before Your First Surf Lesson. With J. Luis

$Playa Grande is located just to the north of Playa Tamarindo and is part of the Las Baulas National Park which is known for the giant Leatherback Turtles that nest there. Playa Grande is also known as one of the most consistent surf spots in Guanacaste with ridable waves every single day of the year. It's a nice sandy bottom wave which is perfect for surfers looking to graduate from the beginner waves in Tamarindo. Playa Grande is the most westerly point of Costa Rica and received the brunt of any S / SSW or SW swell. When Tamarindo is knee - waist high and perfect for beginners, Playa Grande can be head high and barreling. The more southerly orientation is what allows Playa Grande to pick up more swell. There is a small rock outcropping 200 meters off the coast that refracts the waves to give them more shape when they hit the beach. Playa Grande is a wide beach with multiple peaks, although there is one zone that is clearly the best and most crowded. If you move just slightly north or south of this "locals' zone", you'll find slightly smaller waves but hardly any people. Drop a comment below if you've been to Playa Grande. Tell us about your best day out there; we'd love to hear your experience.
