Costa Rica has two distinct coasts — Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean
Sea — offering one great surf break after another. Surfers will find
they have a lot of travel options, including bare-bone surfing cabanas
or five-star luxury resorts. There's also a variety of vibes to complete
a primo surf vacation. Some surfers will thrive in the surf-town party
atmosphere of Jaco, while others will prefer to bliss out in the
relative seclusion of Matapalo. If they plan to scour the whole country
for the perfect break, they may want to leave their board at home and
take advantage of the surf rental shops at the major beaches. Beginners
will find plenty with easygoing waves and surf schools ready to teach
the basics. Water temperature also plays friendly, with an average of 80
degrees Fahrenheit. The Pacific side has the most consistent waves,
although the Caribbean — when it's rolling — has the biggest waves that
attract the most advanced surfers.
