Ollie’s Point is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic right-hand point breaks, located in Guanacaste near the Santa Rosa National Park area on the remote Osa? — actually in northwest Costa Rica, on the Pacific coast. It’s a powerful, long, peeling right-hander that breaks over a shallow rocky point, known for producing clean, fast, barreling waves when the swell and wind line up.

What it’s like

Wave type: Long right point break
Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers
Skill level: Can be challenging due to power, speed, and shallow reef/rock bottom
Wave character: Smooth, machine-like walls with sections that can hold barrels on the right swell
Crowd: Usually lighter than more accessible breaks because it’s remote and often requires a boat or a rugged approach

Conditions

Best swell direction: Typically south / southwest swells
Best wind: Offshore northeast winds are ideal
Best tide: Often prefers mid to high tide, but this can vary
Consistency: Works best in the rainy season and Southern Hemisphere swell periods, though it can fire year-round

Access

Ollie’s Point is famously remote and is often accessed: - By boat - Through Santa Rosa National Park with a long walk/drive and park logistics

Because of its location, many surfers visit as part of a guided surf trip or charter.

Vibe

The setting is wild and beautiful, with jungle, coastline cliffs, and very little development nearby. It’s a destination for surfers looking for quality waves, fewer crowds, and a more adventurous experience.
