Climate/Water Temperature
Costa Careyes has a dry season (Nov- May) and a wet season (June-Oct). One should not be deterred from traveling to Costa Careyes during the “wet season”, since most days are fair with occasional afternoon and/or evening thunderstorms. Also, it is the best season for surfing, as the storms affect the ocean in forming bigger waves. The dry season, or “summer” (November-April), offers beautiful, sunny conditions, but typically has more wind, especially from January through March.
