☀️ Dry Season (December – April)

Costa Rica’s dry season feels like endless summer.
Days are sunny, warm, and perfect for long surf sessions in gentle, easy-going waves. This is the best time for beginners and intermediates to practice daily and gain confidence in the water.

Mornings are usually calm and glassy, with light offshore winds and the sounds of howler monkeys in the jungle. After your first surf, you’ll come back to a fresh breakfast and smiling faces around the camp.

At Zopilote Surfcamp, the dry season means steady conditions, daily surf, and pura vida energy from sunrise to sunset.

🌧️ Green Season (May – October)

The green season brings the jungle to life — everything turns lush, vibrant, and full of energy. Rain showers usually arrive later in the day or at night, leaving the mornings clear and perfect for surfing.

This is when the Pacific starts to show its power, with more frequent bigger swells and a bit more push in the waves. Still, there’s always a safe, mellow section of whitewater for beginners or kids to practice comfortably.

It’s a special time of year — fewer crowds, powerful surf, and the ocean at its most alive.
