Montezuma tides

Predicted from Puntarenas, NOAA station 9684403, 27 miles away. No gauge exists nearer than this. The coast between runs open and unbroken, so the heights hold well and only the turn of the tide may fall a little either side of the times shown. Heights in feet above MLLW. Also covers Playa Montezuma, Cabo Blanco and Playa Cocalito.

About Montezuma

Montezuma offers a laid-back, eco-centric vibe where lush rainforest meets the sea, covering nearby attractions such as Playa Cocalito, scenic coastal waterfalls, and the tip of the Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve. The coast features a mix of sandy pocket beaches and dark volcanic shelves ideal for beachcombing, searching for sea glass, and collecting driftwood. Scenic coastal hikes lead past hidden coves to Cocalito, where a freshwater waterfall plunges directly onto the beach. A low tide chart is an indispensable tool here: low tide is required to safely walk the coastal trail to Playa Cocalito and explore the exposed rock shelves around Cabo Blanco, as rising tides submerge narrow rocky passages and trap hikers against steep sea cliffs.
