Chino saying “Try some sweet Coconut Water from your farm” is kinda funny because we only have 1 fruit bearing tree:)
At least Coconut Harry’s Surf&Music and After Surf Food&Drinks has some homegrown coconuts part of the year.

Here’s a look at Playas de Nosara (Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada & Playa Nosara) from above & also from the ground. The waves are at Main Beach in front of the lifeguard tower, & the main street intersection of Ruta 160 & Calle Modelo at Coconut Harry’s Surf, Food, Music & Drinks & Organico Bakery






Each Saturday, Coconut Harrys Surf and Music hosts Board Swap Saturdays at Playa Guiones, Nosara. People can bring boards they just have laying around the house or they could just try something different.
‘Try stuff before you buy stuff’ is the theme. Frequently, we are learning that people have boards laying around that for someone else might be a real treasure and expand their quiver. So instead of dropping a bunch of money on something you might not like, you may as well at least try out the sizes and shapes and get a feel for it. Or just find somebody you can trade direct to. 
For this Board Swap Saturday, Rich takes out of Robert August mini longboard version of the famous What I Ride model and a Storm Equipment Surfboards finless custom finless board. The surf is a little better than we had expected on this day, but it’s by no means epic.

Thanks to Luis & Marco from Nosara Civic Association for coming onto the Nosara Podcast for a high season 2026 update. We cover all kinds of topics in this episode from the court decision about park lands in Nosara, the Pelada evictions & other Nosara Gossip Machine stuff to the Nosara Corridor & all kinds of other positives & everything in between. It’s a super candid conversation & I appreciate them for coming on camera.
Nosara is a small, protective type of town & there are all kinds of opinions. I appreciate those who will come on camera and speak much more than the gossip minded or social media warriors who stir up controversy but are not solution oriented.

No voice over on this one! January has been an adventure! We have a TON of content heading your way soon. For now, we’re kicking off 2026 TWIN season with epidsode 85 which is full of Xmas/NYW warm water and clean lines. Cows in the fields, Bomberos on a snake call, board swaps, life inside and outside of Coconut Harry’s.

This Week in Nosara Vlog 84 is up! Enjoy early December’s stunning scenery, surf, real life Nosara lifestyle scenes & community updates in under 5 minutes. The TWIN episodes show what weather & waves look like week to week so you can see what this place is like each part of the year plus give a glimpse into ‘real life’ Nosara with our ups and downs as well as a sample of important community items such as water safety, nature, helping people & so many other things as you will see.

This episode features a jam session with Alejandro from the Nosara Music Academy & is the first song they ever played together.

Craig and Tristan Cohen launching the first-ever NIFF today! They discuss their goal of building a film festival in Nosara that supports artists and brings world-class story telling to our community.
Tristan shares the goal to create a space where it’s not just about the movie and then leave. He says: “It’s more about the connection that the environment sparks. How to bring people together in a community full of art, but hasn’t quite matched into its fullest potential”.
How you enjoy the conversation!

Welcome to a special episode of the Nosara Podcast with Longboard Andy! A surfer whose story begins in the fishing town of Garza, growing up around the ocean, learning to fish with his parents and hitching rides into Nosara just to surf.
We start with what Andy’s up to now competing in tournaments and working in his surf company then we get into the surf rules he lives by and we should all follow in the water, his favorite spots to surf in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and how the so-called “secret spots” aren’t really secret anymore.
From there, Andy shares how he got into longboarding, who pulled him toward logging, and how longboard culture continues to evolve in Nosara. We talk boards, shapes, style, and the rhythm that makes long boarding cool now.
And of course, one of the best parts of the episode: Andy’s favorite philosophy of “being weird in the water.” It’s honestly one of the most memorable quotes ever said on the show a great reminder to stay playful and fully yourself in every session and in life.
I hope you enjoy this conversation how a local sees Nosara’s line up, hopes for more opportunities to compete, the challenges and the joys of living a surf life and the joy of longboarding with Andy.
