| That was some wave! |
Well, it the end of August and the last of the tourists are leaving now. Things are starting to really get quiet for the rainy season which really starts in earnest the long weekend of September. And it’s going to be a bad one.
Eight cyclones will affect Costa Rica this year, four of which will likely reach hurricane strength...The National Meteorological Institute has projected “extremely rainy” conditions from August through October for the Central Valley and the Pacific Slope.
From my perspective, it is the time of year when Tamarindo recharges and when we see who stays here during the worst time of the year. Sort of cutting the wheat from the chafe. The waves are big, the breaks are tranquillo, and people are generally less stressed because they don’t have to deal with a lot of the crap that the tourists bring.
Don’t get me wrong…we love tourism, just like any other tourist town out there, we need our time to rest.
And if you do come down here during the months of September and October, there are deals to be had as most hotels are empty. Just be prepared for rain…and for D’OH!!!!
