Santa Teresa tides
Predicted from Puntarenas, NOAA station 9684403, 32 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 Santa Teresa, Playa Mal País and Playa Carmen.

About Santa Teresa
Perched near the tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, Santa Teresa is a bohemian paradise encompassing the continuous beach stretches of Playa Carmen and the rugged, palm-fringed coast of Playa Mal País. Santa Teresa and Playa Carmen deliver consistent, high-powered beach breaks that draw board riders year-round, while Mal País offers a more tranquil setting with dramatic volcanic rock formations. Driftwood collecting and sunset walks are daily rituals along these wide sand expanses. Keeping track of tide predictions is vital: negative low tides expose expansive, natural volcanic tide pools at Mal País—creating serene, natural swimming basins filled with marine life—while high tides compress the usable sand and push heavy surf directly against the jungle tree line.
