Puerto Viejo tides
Predicted from Puerto Limon, NOAA station 9688541, 30 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 Salsa Brava, Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva, Playa Manzanillo, Playa Gandoca, Salsa Brava and Manzanillo.

About Puerto Viejo
Puerto Viejo is the vibrant heart of the South Caribbean, encompassing famous beaches and surf breaks including Salsa Brava, Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva, Playa Manzanillo, and the remote wilderness of Gandoca. Salsa Brava is Costa Rica's heaviest, most famous reef break for expert surfers, while Cocles offers accessible beach breaks, and Punta Uva and Manzanillo provide postcard-perfect, palm-shaded coves for kayaking and coral reef snorkeling. A low tide chart is essential for visitors along this stretch: low tide exposes shallow living coral reefs at Chiquita and Manzanillo, creating calm natural tide pools for wading, but makes the razor-sharp shallow reef at Salsa Brava dangerously shallow for surfers.
