Surf trip Ollie’s Point
Private surfing charter to Ollie’s Point – Potrero Grande
Ollie’s Point or Potrero Grande is one of the most popular surfing spots for surfers visiting Costa Rica.
This fantastic wave, when there is a good swell, becomes a powerful right wave, with good walls, tubes and long stretches of pure perfection.
Located in the middle of the Guanacaste Conservation Area, north of Roca Bruja, it is a wave located far away, however, the epic trip is worth it, considering the quality of the surf, as well as the natural environment that surrounds the beach.
Few people venture to the area, which means that there are usually few surfers in the water, maybe or many times, no one but you.

Private Surfing Charters to Ollie’s Point: A Remote Right-Hand Dream in Guanacaste
For surfers chasing the ultimate wave in a raw and untouched setting, Ollie’s Point (Potrero Grande) is a bucket-list destination. Tucked away in the far north of Guanacaste’s coastline—just north of Witch’s Rock—this legendary right-hander lies deep within the Guanacaste Conservation Area, one of the most ecologically significant and protected regions in Costa Rica. Accessed only by boat, Ollie’s Point is as remote as it is perfect, making private surfing charters the ideal way to reach this surf sanctuary.
The wave itself is a long, fast, and perfectly groomed right-hand point break that can deliver rides of up to 300 meters or more when the conditions line up. Best on a mid to high tide with a strong southwest swell and light offshore winds, Ollie’s Point offers glass-smooth walls, playful barrels, and long carving sections that are a dream for intermediate to advanced surfers. Its relatively narrow takeoff zone keeps the lineup uncrowded, especially for those arriving early on a private charter.
But the surf is only half the story. The journey to Ollie’s Point takes you along a stunning stretch of coastline lined with pristine beaches, towering cliffs, and lush forest, all part of the larger UNESCO-designated Guanacaste Conservation Area. It’s not uncommon to see dolphins riding the bow wake of your boat, manta rays gliding below the surface, or tropical birds overhead as you cruise through this untamed marine wilderness.
Private charters to Ollie’s Point typically depart from coastal hubs such as Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal, Playa Grande, Potrero, El Coco, Hermosa, Ocotal, and Papagayo. These exclusive boat trips offer early access to the break, flexible schedules, shaded seating, and knowledgeable local guides who know the tides and swells like the back of their hand. Many charters can also combine a surf session at Ollie’s Point with a stop at Witch’s Rock, making for an unforgettable dual-surf adventure in Costa Rica’s surf-rich northwest.
If you’re seeking uncrowded perfection, a flawless right-hand wave, and the chance to surf in one of the most remote and wild locations in Central America, a private surfing charter to Ollie’s Point is the ultimate escape.
