For those surfers wanting to catch some world class action, then Pavones is a perfect destination. The best waves here are during April to October which is the rainy season but it is then that they hold their shapes with amazing point breaks which peak on the left.  Extremely long rides here of up to 500 meters and over attract many surfers who flock here to catch these superb waves.

With a southerly swell which is best surfed on a low to mid tide, Pavones really has a lot to offer the dedicated surfer.  Waves can reach over ten feet in height providing excellent quality surfing.  Pavones is easy to find and is one of the best surfing locations in Costa Rica.
