Zancudo is the laid-back Golfo Dulce surf zone where a sheltered left-hand point and sandy beach character mix together. It is the quieter, less developed alternative inside the gulf, with enough shape for long lefts when the swell and tide line up. Get the latest surfing conditions, forecast, and tide details for Zancudo in South Pacific Costa Rica.
Live updates
Northeast winds are offshore.
South and southwest swell are the key directions, and mid tide is the sweet spot; low tide can be shorter and dumpier while fuller tide softens it.
The north-end river mouth can add longer lefts on bigger south swells, and the spot stays quieter than nearby Pavones most days.
