Costa Rica’s beautiful Pacific Coast is recognized as one of the world’s best surf vacation destinations. The stretch of ocean from Jaco south to Playa Hermosa is renowned for exciting and dependable wave action, drawing a steady stream of world-class surfers and international surfing competitions. Watching the surfers race in front of the waves or surf the barrel while you idyll in the warm tropical sun on one of Costa Rica’s many stunning beaches is the perfect way to spend a Costa Rica vacation. But for a truly memorable Costa Rica vacation, you’ll want to get off the beach and try your hand at riding the waves.

During the winter months from the beginning of December through the end of February, daytime temperatures in Charleston typically hover around 60 degrees F., frequently rising into the mid-70s. Nighttime temperatures are usually in the low to mid-40s with freezing temperatures a rare occurrence. The Atlantic Ocean may be a bit chilly for swimming this time of year, but it’s not too cold to enjoy a day on the water boating or fishing.
