to the north of the xxx coast

I would use "off the North coast", but you have already used "off shore".
Peer comment(s):

agree Rachel Fell : I'd hyphenate it as "off-shore" - have jusrt looked again and there are quite a few "offshore field off" examples - here it has it with & without hyphen - http://www.tracerco.com/bulletins-news-6sep04.htm

... on the north coast

I would say "Currently the two main supply sources of natural gas in Colombia are La Guajira off shore field on the North Coast..." sounds ok to me. I agree with Tim that "off the north coast" sounds better but as he says, you've already used "off shore".

on the northern coast.

Ayuda mucho si pones el original, pues no sé si "North Coast" es nombre propio, o para designar la sección norte de una costa. Si es el último, "northern coast" es mejor.
