When is the best time to go if you like a nice waist high +\- longboard wave that’s fun but not too big?
@scubarocks20042 жыл бұрын
Hello! When my house was completed Jan 2021 I moved to Guiones and it was unusual difficult waves for months. I like small longboard waves so I didn’t get out much. Due to the strong real estate market I sold my house in October and moved up north to Avellana where the waves are more forgiving as there is more time between sets. I say all this as I am not the best person to ask but I did read this… The best time of year for surfing Guiones with consistent clean waves (rideable swell with light / offshore winds) is during Winter and most often the month of January. Clean surfable waves are typically found 16% of the time in January while 3% of the time it tends to be blown out. For the remaining 81% of the time it is considered too small by most surfers but may still be OK for beginners and groms at times.

If I was going to move to Costa Rica, I think I would much prefer to support people who were doing something to save the natural habitat not plow it down to build more infinity pools.

I did not build in Kalia. I opted to build on a lot and had an architect that was passionate about tropical design. We built the house so it was actually hidden among the tropical garden of native plants. We build using the best septic system and had a bionest installed to reuse black water. It’s our responsibility to build responsibly and not encourage the builders, architects, etc to build frivolous to destroy the environment. It’s ultimately our responsibility to tame the beasts.

Yes, it is sad that there is petty theft there and it happens every day. I just know how to protect myself the best way possible to avoid this from happening. I am moving to Nosara end of 2020 and happy I am moving from a place that has more concrete that land, there were 4 shootings/deaths within a few blocks from where I live. There was an attack and near rape a block from where I lived and cars are broken into on a daily basis. I see no terrorist attacks, mass shootings, school shootings, or other horrible acts of violence so I choose that over the USA (which I love!). But ready for a lifestyle much different.

Mila's Dance Party hello! Thank you! I did go on june and I love surfing but the 2 times I went in June the waves were too big (large swells) so I had to just surf the inside whitewater. The waves are much different than where I live! I’m moving there (building a home now) so I’m looking forward to getting better! The best thing to do is find a local surf shop or surf camp and reach out to see when the waves would be best for a beginner. Dec through April is high/dry season and it’s more populated. This past Oct (which is the month it rains the most) I think the flooding was horrible and there may have been 1 or 2 good days of surf. I’m NO expert but the locals are!

We built the house so it was actually hidden among the tropical garden of native plants. We build using the best septic system and had a bionest installed to reuse black water. It’s our responsibility to build responsibly and not encourage the builders, architects, etc to build frivolous to destroy the environment. It’s ultimately our responsibility to tame the beasts.
Talvez ella no hace eso que dices,pero si es cierto que estan construyendo muchas casas de lujo en esos lugares,y destruyendo el habitad de flora y fauna.Saludos desde san Ramón de Alajuela Costa Rica.
Love me the north point ☝️ and staying at lodge vista Del Mar
I went to corky carols surf school one of the most fun thing
There is a some really fun surf here. I’m glad you had fun!
@@scubarocks2004 thanks

North Pacific side of Costa Rica
LOVED the music!
Thank you Nina 🙏❤️
How is Nosara for a 20 month old kid??
Hello! If your a Facebook you can find pages like Nosara Recommends and you can ask what activities would be fun for a 20 month old. I don’t have children so I would leave it up to those that have younger children to give you better answers. I’m leaving tomorrow to move to Nosara as my permanent residence so I know I fell in love with it 😃
@@scubarocks2004 Ok will do. Safe and healthy travels!!
@@MStar10 thanks and I hope you get wonderful feedback on your question!!
Told your Dad No fair making me cry at work!
I had you on the distribution but knew you were at work so was hoping Dad would share with you when you got home! I cried seeing Kav ❤️
✌️
✌🏻🤙🏻 hope you and your family are staying safe!
I loved it there but also my place was broken into three times and all my laptops and camera gear was stolen... back in 2012.
Yes, it is sad that there is petty theft there and it happens every day. I just know how to protect myself the best way possible to avoid this from happening. I am moving to Nosara end of 2020 and happy I am moving from a place that has more concrete that land, there were 4 shootings/deaths within a few blocks from where I live. There was an attack and near rape a block from where I lived and cars are broken into on a daily basis. I see no terrorist attacks, mass shootings, school shootings, or other horrible acts of violence so I choose that over the USA (which I love!). But ready for a lifestyle much different. BUT you are so right...petty theft is real and you need to be aware of it. Thanks and I hope you did see the beauty.
@@scubarocks2004 They climbed multiple stories on ladders, and broke in the smallest of windows. They peeled back bars of window covered cages. I found origami pieces and soda cans in the woods where they waited for us to leave. Its a place that is beautiful but you need to constantly be on alert which makes me sad.
Vitamindevo it is really sad that it happens 😢. I 100% agree with you.
Heaven on earth. Love it there so much. It gives me goose bumps when I watch this!
Richard Sharpe I feel the same, Richard. I fell in love with Nosara the first time I went. Do you live there? I’m building a home and will be there towards the end of next year. Beyond excited. So happy to see your comment! Thank you!
ahh so nice to see where i was 3 months ago also did you go to beach dog cafe
me is cool it is so wonderful there. Everyone is beyond nice. I have not been to Beach Dog Cafe yet but will when I head there in June. That is close to where I’m building my home.
oh lol when i was there me and my family went almost everyday for lunch. the smoothies are amazing!
me is cool I can live on smoothies and cold pressed juices so I’m so going!!! Thanks for the intel!
I just realized this video was uploaded the day I got to Nosara.
Catfish the Seawing haha...that’s cool! I head back soon...I love Nosara!
0:42 THAT'S THE HOTEL I WENT TO THERE!!!
It looks really nice! Hope you enjoyed your stay!!
going in about 2 weeks with a group of friends! i’m super nervous/anxious!
Guccimanelaflare that is fantastic! Why are you nervous? It’s a beautiful place full of Pura Vida. I head back in June and it can’t come fast enough 😃. I’m excited for you!!
Kellie Smirnoff Idk although i’m very excited it’s my first time out the country but that’s common I guess!!
Guccimanelaflare how exciting! I promise you will love it! If you get car sick just take Dramamine the night before you fly there and the morning of your flight. I never get carsick but I do on the drive to Nosara 😂
Kellie Smirnoff thank you so much!
Kellie Smirnoff do you fly to Liberia or San Juan?
great video ..... make some more please
Thank you so much! I hope to make many more once I move there. I appreciate your kind comment!!
@@scubarocks2004 way cool . i love costa rica . Puda Vida Kellie
Capt Paul Pura Vida my friend!
Going in a few weeks :)
I think it’s almost time you head to Nosara! Enjoy!!
i was there a month ago it was awesome
me is cool glad you liked it! I LOVE Nosara!!!
What time of the year there is less snow? August, setpember or october?
Thee Oneee Noee32 Hello! I have to admit I’m not positive as I had no knowledge of Mt. Whitney and was asked to climb it the day before I did. I had no idea what to expect! I don’t want to fathom a guess but I would contact the park to find out the best time for you to climb. Sorry for the lack of answer!
Oh wow Im a former runner but yeah i want to do something a little different and get to new places. Thats is the ultimate challenge. It was july and there was a lot of snow to be that time of year. Nice video tho. I would like to find a group too to do that hike. Is there like groups that usually do it?
Thee Oneee Noee32 I am an ultra distance runner and this climb was a significant challenge 😬. I went with the group that I crewed Badwater with but I’m sure you can find groups on social media that try to organize climbs!
@@scubarocks2004 yeah it does not look easy, one thing is that I do not want to camp I would like to do it in one try. Thanks for the tip tho
Great video! What month did you go? (June?) I wonder how the waves are that time of the year. I'm a beginner and thinking of going in April.
Mila's Dance Party hello! Thank you! I did go on june and I love surfing but the 2 times I went in June the waves were too big (large swells) so I had to just surf the inside whitewater. The waves are much different than where I live! I’m moving there (building a home now) so I’m looking forward to getting better! The best thing to do is find a local surf shop or surf camp and reach out to see when the waves would be best for a beginner. Dec through April is high/dry season and it’s more populated. This past Oct (which is the month it rains the most) I think the flooding was horrible and there may have been 1 or 2 good days of surf. I’m NO expert but the locals are!
@@scubarocks2004 great, awesome! I'll ask some local shops
We are heading to a surf camp in Nosara December 1st. Can’t wait. Great video
David Miller Awesome!! Which surf camp? You will love it! I’m building a home in Playa Guiones and moving there full time in 2 years...that’s how much I love it 😃. I can’t wait to hear how your trip goes!!
Kellie Smirnoff we are going to Corky Carrols surf camp for a week. We are using this as our scouting trip for a place to live. Sun, surf and outdoor living.
David Miller wonderful!! I have a feeling you will fall in love. Nosara is getting to be very expensive as it is one of the most sought after expat locations but it’s the only place I’ve ever been where I didn’t want to come back home. If you ever decide Nosara is your winning location I will be happy to share any of my resources and experiences. HAVE A BLAST!!! Pura Vida!!
We leave 2 weeks from tomorrow. I can’t wait. Toes in the sand and a beer in hand. We may never come back, lol.
David Miller HAVE THE BEST TIME!! Every day I dream of my one way ticket to Nosara!!! Every day!! 😂
awesome video !! love it ! love Nosara
Paul Renna Thanks so much, Paul! Nosara stole my heart! I’m building a home in Playa Guiones and moving in 2 years....that’s how much I love it ❤️. Maybe I’ll see you on the beach one day!
Good morning Kellie :) thank you so much! God, spirit and my higher self are taking there in 2 weeks for at least the month of October💛. Costa Rica has been calling at me for a long time and I know in my heart it’s my home too. So you will most certainly see me on the beach 😎. Thank you for a profound video and radiating a wonderful angelic light that is really the icing on the pure love manifestion that’s about to become my physical reality. Please, you’re so very welcome to add me on Instagram @hairarchitect that we may manifest that divine day you speak of😇🙏🦋 Namaste beautiful being of light Kindest Me ☀️
Paul Renna that is wonderful! Nosara truly does ooze Pura Vida in every sense of the word. Enjoy your trip and post a lot! I will find you on Insta! Be well!
Kellie Smirnoff :) thank you so much again and I have no doubt that it does 💛 I’ll look forward to seeing you in costa and on insta. May your day be filled with wonderful universal synchronicity‘s and lots of joy and laughter 😊 Namaste
Wow we were around at the same time cool. I Bodyboard but the storm swell kicked the living shit out of me! Great video!
My family owns this house and if you are interested. here is a link www.vrbo.com/1105543 . It is probably better to go with a group of friends in this house.
Ping Hi Ping!! Glad you enjoyed the video! OMG the 2 times I went to Nosara I could not make it past the break so had to surf the inside as the whitewater was rebuilding. The drift was insane! Good workout 😂. How often do you make it to Nosara? I just purchased a lot and going to build and move there full time so this way I can actually surf the outside 😂. Thanks for your comment!!
That is such a super cute home!! Thanks for sending! I’m building my home right by your family’s home (to live in...not rent out). Hopefully our paths will cross at some point and I’ll keep your family’s home in mind for the future visits! Great location’
This is the best short travel video I've ever seen. You used a MAP! Who does that? Put notes on the map! Captions with the video. You shot an SUV going through a puddle to show what it's like driving in Nosara in the rainy season. Who does that? There are so many details I'll have to watch it more. "Let's check out Guiones". might not be noticed, but I haven't seen that before. Who else invites the view to join them?

Hello! Thanks for your comment. Not sure if your making fun of me or you like the video 😂 but I appreciate you stopping by! I love Nosara!
No, not making fun at all. I wish everyone's trip videos were like this one. Have you watched any from others? I appreciate what I learn from them, but some are a slog. I've realized from watching yours how important good editing is (among other things you did).
By the way, what video editing software do you use? I'd like to try to make a video like this the next time I go to Costa Rica.
I hope you'll make many more videos like this one. The world needs them! I just watched another video on Nosara and half of it was the guy's face. The only thing I wondered about your is why at the beginning you didn't zoom in on Costa Rica and put a pin in Nosara. To keep the location secret? :- )
Superb job on making it to the summit. What app did you use to record your distance, calories, etc? I'm due to go late September. Thanks!
Thanks Erick! You will have an amazing time! My friend had the distance/Timing device and I think it was a Garmin watch. I hope you have a very successful summit!
Great job! I believe we met you at camp :) Bill (camp host) introduced you and your dog to us. Keep crushin!
Aldo Parenti Hi Aldo! Did you stay at base camp? I don't have a dog so it may have been another short lady that you met 😂. But it was so great to meet others along the way!! Congrats on your summit! It was epic!! Keep rockin'!!
Wow! Much different from my Sept 15th 2016 summit. The switchbacks are covered and flooded and so much snow. Congrats! and glad you made it!
winky phillips Congrats on your summit! The amount of snow shocked me and three of the switchbacks you had to scale the side of to get to the next one due to snow covering them. Another frightening experience! But so incredible to summit and see miles and miles of beauty! Thanks for your message!
Hi Kellie: It's an awesome video. I will hike Mt. Whitney on July 27. Did you use crampons when you cross the the snow area? Is it necessary?
Joseph Jaw Hello! Thanks for your comment! It will be an epic hike for you and I hope it is an incredible experience! Although I didn't have crampons it would have been nice to have them when ascending and descending the snowy parts. The sketchy area was really scary and even with crampons be very careful. Many hikers had crampons and poles. I had a run skirt and running shoes due to last minute decision to climb. Next time I will be more prepared 😂. Enjoy!!
Hi Kellie: Thanks for your quick reply. This will be my first hike to Mt. Whitney and it will be a solo hike. I am getting more and more excited now. I will enjoy my hike. Congrats on the summit. Have a nice weekend.
Awesome video and just what i needed to see!!! I am heading up with my dad on the 25th! Did you use crampons at all? How long did it take you to summit?
Hi Kody! Awesome! You and your dad have an amazing adventure ahead of you! It was an epic experience! Many had crampons and poles and they HIGHLY recommend them. I didn't have anything but a running skirt and running shoes as it was a last minute decision. There were a few spots I would have benefited from crampons! It's 22 miles round trip so depending on your ability or how you react to altitude (I'm from sea level) it should take 9 hours to 11 hours to summit and 6 hours to 8 hours to descend. Enjoy!!
Awesome Kellie. Thank you very much for the response. Heading to REI right now for last minute gear!
