Located in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Marbella is a quality right-hand reef break that offers up some deep barrels when the conditions line up. The waves here can be heavy and break for up to 100 meters over rock bottom.

What are the best surf conditions for Marbella?

Gets good between chest-high and overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard or a step-up as it gets bigger. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is somewhat consistent (6/10) and will generally be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the East. The best swells are from the West. Works on a mid-tide.

We recommend wearing board shorts or a bikini year-round. Water temperatures range between 29 and 27. See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
