Costa - To Dman..for getting around CR, as in covering a good amount of land over 4 months, ur best bet is to pack light and be able to score rides or take a bus. Busses are cheap and you can take them pretty far.

To Irish surfer - you will get waves in DEC/Jan, i have been there those months and scored New Years Day 13 foot and very heavy. The reports will scare you into thinking it's flat during Dec - March but I've taken those months due to school/work conveniences in the past, and have never been skunked.

Worst I ever saw it was about 3 feet....and thats very rare.

Not sure if it's still there but there used to be a place called Villa Hermosa and they had a sign that says "Head High Every Day"....9 days out of 10 = they are right.

Don't worry about it

Sketchy? - What do you mean by saying the East Coast of Coasta rica is scetchy. I find it to be really mellow.

star - April should be a very decent month pretty much anywhere down there.

I prefer the N. Pacific spots for a couple of reasons, I like it drier than wetter. The S. Pacific has Pavones which can be epic but getting around down there is a task on to itself.

East coast gets great waves but it is a liitle sketchy over there for my tastes but nothing to worry about, just not for my tastes.

I like mellow.
