Description
Gulf of Pelcico is a point break situated a short distance away from Playa Negra in Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. Even though the break is in the middle of nowhere, it is easy to find and require surfers to paddle out to it. Paddling out usually takes about 15 minutes 
and can be a bit difficult, but once you get there, the waves with perfect rights make it worth the trouble. The point break has regular waves that peel to the right. The waves are quite fast, powerful and really fun to ride. They can reach the height of 300 meters on good days. When the swell is coming from the right direction and wind blows from the east, the waves become perfect to surf. The swell can hold up to 10 feet. Gulf of Pelcico is mostly uncrowded especially on weekdays. It is suitable for all types of surfers. Watch out for the rocks.
