Caribbean Coast: This is another consistent month for surf, with waves mostly head-high plus, but reaching double overhead. Lots of rain showers as well, so make sure you have tread on the tires for the roads and something strong to clean out your ears after a surf session. Two major surf contests this month will bring out the locals, so show respect in the lineup.
Pacific Coast: The Papagayo winds (from the northwest) really start howling this month, at times strong enough to cause upwelling, which means chilly water. Not that chilly, since you are 9-degrees latitude, but enough so you may want a springsuit up by Witch’s Rock. Waves arrive from the west-northwest and occasionally from the southwest, but don’t get too big. You will see surf from waist- to chest-high mostly, with some 1- to 2-foot overhead days scattered throughout the month.
