About Caldera
Caldera, located in the Puntarenas Province of Costa Rica, is a renowned surf spot on the Central Pacific coast. It's best known for its fast, powerful jetty break, which typically works well for intermediate surfers with medium to high tides and west/southwest swells. Beyond its surfing appeal, Caldera is also home to Costa Rica's main Pacific commercial port, Puerto Caldera, adding a unique character to the region. This location offers a dynamic coastal experience with its strong wave action and proximity to important infrastructure.
