Located in Central Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica, Rio Claro Rivermouth is an excellent left-hander that offers up powerful walls of water. The waves here are challenging to surf and break for up to 150 meters over a sand bottom. Super remote, so free camping, but getting there is an absolute mission.
