About Surfing in Tamarindo
Tamarindo is one of Costa Rica’s top surfing destinations and is famous for long riding surf breaks. This lively beach town offers waves for all skill levels but is particularly suited for beginners. Located on the Pacific coast, it attracts surfers from around the world.
Gentle waves can be found near the main beach. There are surf schools and rental shops are available and instructors can help new surfers catch their first waves.
More experienced surfers can find more challenging breaks nearby. Pico Grande and Pico Pequeño offer faster, steeper waves. Strong swells create powerful rides, perfect for experienced surfers. Next door is Playa Grande which delivers consistent waves with fewer crowds.
Besides surfing, Tamarindo offers a fun beach atmosphere. There are many restaurants, bars, and shops that line the streets. After a surf session, fresh seafood and tropical drinks can be enjoyed while taking in a sunset view over the ocean.
Tamarindo Weather
The weather in Tamarindo, Costa Rica is divided into two season, green (rainy season) and summer (dry season).
The majority of the rain falls between May and November. Nearly everyday during this time will see some rain, usually in the afternoons between May and July. However, once August rolls around, all day rains are common until the middle of November.
October is by far the rainiest month for any community on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, including Tamarindo.
December through April has the driest weather with very little, if any rain. January and February experience the Papagayo winds that blow hard, sometimes at hurricane force strength from the northeast and out to sea. During the clear and windy periods, the humidity levels decrease significantly and most of the landscape turns brown.
The most uncomfortable month in terms of temperature plus humidity is April. The temperatures are high, the winds are calm and the heavy rains have not started and therefore provide no cooling relief from the heat.
