Perfect waves, every day

From May-November it's the rainy season or 'green season' as we call it, with lush nature and waterfalls full of life. There is plenty of sunshine this time of year as well, but with occasional tropical rain in the afternoons. The vibe and waves are equally amazing year-round.
