Overview
A full day for experienced surfers. Leave Playas del Coco at first light and run up the coast into Santa Rosa National Park: hollow barrels over the sand bottom at Witch's Rock on the high tide, and the long right point break at Ollie's Point on the low. The breaks are only 30 minutes apart, so you surf both with a lunch break in between.
- 5:00 am
Depart Playas del Coco
Board the boat at first light and run north along the coast into Santa Rosa National Park.

The captain picks the break for the tide: Witch's Rock and its hollow sandbar barrels on the high, or Ollie's Point's long right on the low.
- 11:30 am
Lunch on board
Sandwiches, fruit and cold drinks while the boat moves the 30 minutes to the other break.
