Tamarindo in June
Good time to visit
June brings real savings and fewer tourists, but you'll spend afternoons indoors watching tropical storms. Perfect for budget travelers who don't mind working around daily rain.
Weather
Proper rainy season kicks in with daily afternoon storms that can last 2-3 hours. Mornings often start sunny and gorgeous, but by 1pm the sky opens up. The rain cools everything down and turns the landscape bright green.

All Months
December through April means guaranteed sunshine and consistent offshore winds that clean up the surf. This is high season, so expect crowds and prices to match. January and February offer the sweet spot: perfect weather without Christmas chaos. March brings the biggest swells of the dry season. But here's what guidebooks won't tell you: early rainy season (May-June) can be magical. Fewer tourists, green landscapes, and afternoon storms that clear quickly. Just avoid September and October when roads wash out and waves disappear. The transition months of November and late April give you decent weather with shoulder season prices.
