Located in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica, Hog Hole is a quality right-hand point break that offers up steep performance-oriented walls. The waves here are challenging to surf and break for up to 100 meters over a shallow rock bottom. This area is remote (take a 4×4 only) and accommodation is not cheap. There are two other quality right points/reefs in the area.
