There's a rip by the rocky point that takes you out. Surf the rights there or head 50 yards south for the best left peak. Lots of lefts and rights across the beach.
You will notice depending on the tide tha tthe wave peaks at the same place every time. Even though this is a river mouth there is a coral head that is exposed during low tide and remains just below the surface at high tide. Also keep an eye on your position with regard to the shore. (To the north of the mouth are submerged rocks that extend from the beach out fairly far)

Avellona is an alternative to Playa Negra - being a less radical spot. The beach is a typical long sandy Guanacaste sandy cresent. At the southern end (in front of the parking) is a small rock platform which produces some OK lefts at mid to high tide. The main spot on the beach is the 'rivermouth' - which is not much more than a depression in the sand at the Northern End. A small rocky area here holds sand and produces a quality peak, with the right being the longer ride. The waves pick up fast on the 'reef' - but this is not in the same league as Playa Negra. Many people rate this as a better break than the more easily accessible Tamarindo rivermouth.
For better rides get as close to the rocks as you can. Park your can in the main parking lot on the beach, walk 60 meters left and paddle out. There is an inside break, dont bother with it unless it looks really good. The locals like to hang-out there.
Park your car front of the beach under the trees. you can eat and drink at "la Luna" (south of beach) or at "Olga" front of surf spot. Also you will see the Hotel nosara from the line up.for tide info check in:http://www.surf-costarica.com/tides.htm
Not much current but as with all beach breaks it may take some time to reach the line up.
