Dominical beach is well know internationally for its famous waves, as any other location it can be a perfect surf spot as it can be a dangerous one, let us explain why. As a beginner you must take precautions on when and where you learn to surf, there are many factors that can make a beach dangerous or suitable for the practice of surfing. Dominical is a great spot to learn to surf if you have the right set up, tides play a huge role on the right timing to learn and it's vital that you go surfing at the right times. In the pacific of Costa Rica we have drastic tide changes every 6 hours. Whether you are surfing Dominical or any other location having a basic understanding of the tides will make the difference between good surf and bad surf. When you decide to take a lesson with us there is nothing to worry about. We know Dominical and surrounding surf spots to perfection and we can assure you that your safety is our main concern, we would not do any lessons if the conditions are dangerous. We will always choose for the right tides, the right equipement and personalized attention so you can learn as much as possible and can become independent and feel safe with just a few classes.

Costa Rica has 2 seasons, rainy season and dry season. We reccomend the dry season because obviously the weather is nicer, this is from December to July. From August to November it can get a bit messy let's say. Much storms, rains and sometimes even hurricanes, bringing tons of river water into the sea and making it cold, choppy and messy. We normally close our camp in the raininest months but stay open for lessons if weather allows.
