Very consistent Epic right-hand reef/point break. Perfect and powerful in the right conditions and is known as one of the best breaks in Costa Rica. Playa Negra will work on a smallish swell but starts to really turn on when it's a couple feet overhead, and can hold almost triple overhead without closing out. Very playful and fun surfing when its around head high. Well worth a visit.
As this is a good quality wave and quite near Paraiso, Negra can can get pretty crowded very easily.
The Wave House offers newly built, luxurious high quality accommodation, just steps from the beach at Playa Negra.
