What Are the Surf Conditions Like in Tamarindo, Costa Rica During July?

We wrote a blog about our Surf Calendar ages ago, but it’s not the same as putting that into words than showing the magic on video! So we’re working on a playlist to show you what every month is like at our beautiful Tamarindo.

Right now, we’ve got a fresh video for you:

July and its Mini-Summer Break, right in the heart of the Green Season

What’s on the Menu for July?

We have a big feast here:

The Starter: The first two weeks offer clear skies, no winds in the morning, afternoon showers to keep things fresh, fewer crowds, and heavy consistent surfing.

The Main Dish:

The latter half is a summer mirage in the middle of the green season, with lush green surroundings, clear blue skies, temps in the 90s, all-day offshore winds, and active Southern Hemisphere swells. The Veranillo effect is caused by the entrance of trade winds from the Caribbean, leading to a significant reduction in rainfall compared to the rest of the rainy season. A touch of summer in the midst of our vibrant green season!

Why July Rocks:

  • First Two Weeks: Clear skies, refreshing rain showers in the afternoons, consistent surf, and fewer crowds.
  • Veranillo: The second half of July is Costa Rica’s mini-summer. The rain takes a break, bringing plenty of days with blue skies and temperatures in the 90s.
  • Winds: All-day offshore winds create perfect surfing conditions.
  • Waves: Advanced surfers will enjoy chest to overhead swells, while beginners can catch smaller waves out front.

July is truly one of the best times to visit Costa Rica. Picture green, lush surroundings, consistent waves, fewer crowds, and plenty of sunny days with offshore winds. It’s the perfect time to get your last summer surf fix before the real summer hits in December.

At Witch’s Rock Surf Camp, we cater to all skill levels. Beginners can enjoy our surf lessons with ISA-certified and lifeguard-trained instructors, intermediate surfers can take advantage of our surf tours with coaching and video analysis, and advanced surfers can join our guided surf tours to some of the best breaks in Costa Rica, including a full day trip to the historic Witch’s Rock and Ollie’s Point. Plus, with our extensive surf report and surf conditions updates, you’ll always know what to expect in the water.

We will be posting a video every month on this playlist so you can start planning for next year or just get some inspo. We’re really showing you the beauty we have every day of the year. We promise, there’s something for everyone every day of the year here at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp.

Already did one for June too, the underrated month of the year. Check the video here.
