Surfing in Costa Rica
One of the world's top surf destinations for great waves, warm water, consistent year-round surf, affordable prices, friendly people and Costa Rica's (Rich Coast) is definitely just that, 755 miles of Coastline on two oceans where finding breaks is pretty much a short drive away. Coast Rica's two coastlines offer dozens of popular and remote beaches with a range of commodities; from the surfer's beach camp to the five star luxury hotels. The country's selection of surf spots range from idyllic beach breaks to coral platforms where the water leaps up and tubes like a miniature Pipeline. Costa Rica is a superb destination for surfing and it is one of those rare mainland destinations that actually has two coastlines to surf, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

Having coastline on two oceans is quite an advantage, since when one ocean is flat, there is usually something breaking on the other side of the country. Often enough, there is good surf pumping on both coasts. The country's surf is complemented by its comfortable water temperatures -- you can leave that wet suit at home -- beautiful scenery and the convenience of a variety of accommodations and restaurants near most breaks make this a paradise for surfers.

The major swell season is April to October, but the clean surf season is December to April when swell from deep antic lows reach the Pacific coastline with offshore winds a common occurrence. Typically morning surfs are offshore and afternoon are light onshore.

So what's the weather like? This area has a wet, tropical climate with high temperatures in its 30's every month. Rainfall determines seasons rather than the temperature, and the rainy season is between May to November.
