When is the best surf?

The winds play large roll in the surf conditions.

The preferable off-shore winds usually blow all day from December to April and July to August.

During mid May through June and September through early November the winds are clam or off shore most mornings and will switch on-shore during the day.

Evenings can bring glassy conditions.

The winds however will often switch off-shore when rain approches and make clean ideal surf.

Most surf breaks in the Tamarindo work best during the high tide.
