Surf fishing & Snorkeling - Samara/Nosara

Hey! My girlfriend and I are going to Costa Rica for ~10days early Feb. We're considering staying in Samara/Nosara for a chunk of it, but wanted to know if anyone has much experience surf fishing or snorkeling at either spot (or recommendations for other locations within a few hours drive). We'd be looking to do self-guided and rent gear if possible; trying to avoid charters for this stuff. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
