Tamarindo in November
Good time to visit
November delivers the best value of the year. You get increasingly reliable weather as crowds and prices stay reasonable before the December rush begins.
Weather
The weather gods start smiling again in November. Rain becomes less frequent and more predictable, usually hitting in late afternoon or evening. Mornings stay sunny and pleasant, and humidity drops noticeably as trade winds return.

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.
