Cabo Matapalo “Hog Hole”

The beach at the peninsula’s outermost point is called “Hog Hole” locally. It receives consistent open-ocean waves that can be good for surfers of all levels.  There are strong right-hand waves that break best around mid-tide. These can be quite challenging on big swells. Probably, one of the big attractions is the seclusion of the surfing experience, even on weekdays. It is important to be aware of, and watch out for, rips, undertows, and rocks that can “disappear” at high tide.
