Rainy season or ‘green season’ in Costa Rica occurs between May to mid-December and, while still hot, means that most days are filled with at least a little downpour. On the most extreme rainy days, however, it can rain heavily non-stop for a few hours, especially in the afternoon. Think of it this way, you’re likely to get wet in the water anyway, so why not visit Costa Rican beaches during the rainy season? Just be aware that waves can get choppier and higher during these months.
