Het weer in San Juan del Sur (SJDS) in februari

Forum posters describe late January into February around Nosara as typically bringing daytime highs in the low 30sC with evenings around 27-28C, squarely within Guanacaste's dry season and generally favorable conditions. Posters consistently rate the water at Nosara's main beach, Playa Guiones, as warm and clear this time of year, while flagging that wave size there can get large enough to require some caution for less experienced swimmers or surfers. Posters generally rate February as one of the more reliably dry, pleasant months to visit Nosara, with the dry-season heat as the main thing to plan around rather than any real rain risk.

San Juan del Sur's forum describes September and October as the heaviest rain of the year here, but the typical day still follows a manageable rhythm: cooler and overcast at dawn, clouds burning off by mid-morning, then sunny through the afternoon before rain returns. Posters said showers roll in roughly every other day and usually last only an hour or two rather than the whole day. A few forum regulars specifically preferred August over September, since the risk of a genuinely wet stretch climbs the closer you get to the end of the month.

Forum posters describe March as squarely inside the strong seasonal wind window that runs January through March, with the ocean itself running noticeably cooler (around 17C) during the windiest stretch and beach days sometimes getting genuinely uncomfortable - one reviewer described wind strong enough to feel like it was 'beating' them while trying to lie on the beach. By March the pattern shifts toward hot, dry and dusty conditions on land even as the wind persists, with posters generally naming April (before or right after Easter week) or very early May as calmer, more comfortable alternatives for travelers who prioritize a still, sunny beach day over surf conditions - Papagayo-style offshore winds like this one are prized by kitesurfers even as they frustrate sunbathers.
