Costa Rica is a country that is made for almost every surfer.  Small crowds, friendly locals, warm water, big waves and low prices: what else could you need? The Northwestern Pacific Coast is arguably the finest region for surfing.  Here waves of all sizes, for beginners  and experts break all year long. 

Along this coastline there are many spots, both remote and close, that pick up swells all year round.  The summer brings more swells than the winter, but offshore winds are much stronger from December to April.  The weather and the water are warm for most of the year, most likely you won’t need any type of wetsuit. Little hint: you will probably get better rates in the summer which is the Costa Rican “Green Season.”

When you come to Costa Rica, try to bring a ding kit as repair shops are sparse.  Bring straps for your car since the rental companies often do not have them.  Also, bring a first aid kit and a lot of powerbars.  Always bubble wrap or pad your board in its bag.  It is usually a good idea to get a pocket surf map and plan your trip before coming down, although at the hotel we can point you in the direction of most of the breaks.
