The best spot is down the beach some in front of a huge, lone Palm Tree. You'll know by all the surfers in the water out in front of it.
Overview
Atmosphere
This place is a smorgishboard of kneeboarders, longboarders, beginners, groms and ocean goers of all sorts. Although you can paddle down the beach and find an uncrowded peak for yourself.
General
It's a fun wave, thats much more forgiving than nearby waves. Even on big days. Its breaks on almost all tides (though it favors higher tides) and during the winter months, offshores are plentiful.
Nosara
Been going to Nosara for 5 years, great place, surf is consistent, I bought a place in Guiones can see at Nosara Travel look for Holiday Haven under vacation rentals

Hey,
Hitting Nosara the end of March. What is the optimal swell direction for here? Gonna try my luck mapping out where we surf based on swell direction.
Here's what I'm trying, someone let me know what you think. Find the optimal swell direction for a spot and use that as a baseline. Get a good map that has compass headings on it. As the swell direction moves from the optimal direction, you move to spots that get it more head on.
Has anyone ever tried this? Not thinking too hard on this, just getting stoked planning a trip. Help a brother out.
Isn't it fun thinking about stupid shit like this when your getting psyched for a surf trip?

Crowds?
When I was here there was nobody out because the current washed everybody away. I had 10 footers breaking both ways all to myself. Then when the surf got even bigger nobody would paddle out with me. I was there in July of 07 and struggled to find people to surf with. I gues when you actually get size nobody wants to work hard for there waves. But if you don't mind bug waves and a strong current I reccomend this place!
