Your First Green Wave in 6 Days
By Diego Hernandez · Nosara, Costa Rica · 2026-02-15
Day one is foam boards and whitewater. Day two, everyone stands up. Guiones is the best beginner beach I know: sand bottom, long rolling waves, no rocks, no attitude.
Pelada for sunset. We watch the video from the morning session here and break down every pop-up, frame by frame.
Rest day surprise: an arribada at Ostional. Thousands of olive ridleys come ashore at once. Nobody talked about surfing for a whole morning.
Lunch is always a casado at the soda in town: rice, beans, plantains, fish, six dollars. Surf, eat, nap, repeat.
Last day we drive down to Garza for an unbroken green wave. Six days in, the whole group paddled out on their own.
