SYNOPSIS
It's a looooong way down the coast of Mexico and Central America, and we've got our sights set on a new landfall in Costa Rica after over 2,000 miles at sea from La Paz on the Baja Peninsula. The typical weather conditions this time of year will make for an easy downwind run in tropical temperatures and with ample opportunity for wildlife sightings.
typical Weather Pattern
Expect stable weather with mild temperatures and consistent northeasterly trade winds of 15 to 25 knots. Daytime temperatures range from mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit with cooler nights. Be ready for calm periods and stronger gusts near coastlines. Sea conditions can vary; swells typically come from the northwest.
