BEST TIME OF YEAR TO SURF IN COSTA RICA?

Costa Rica is a true haven for surfers, offering waves for all levels, warm waters, and friendly locals. From December to March, you'll find 2-3 ft. swells, perfect for beginners and those looking to enjoy the ocean in a relaxed atmosphere. The prime surf season, running from May to November, brings larger 4-5 ft. swells that thrill more experienced surfers.

The smaller waves of the dry season are perfect for learning how to ride “green” waves and are eagerly anticipated by many surfers. Throughout the year, winds are generally mild, with mornings typically bringing offshore breezes for clean waves and afternoons seeing onshore winds until sunset.

With water temperatures staying around 28°C (82°F), boardshorts and bikinis with rash guards are all you need. Air temperatures are equally pleasant, ranging from 22°C at night to 35°C during the day (71.6°F to 95°F). Get in touch to book into our Costa Rica surf camp.
