Playa Junquillal

Best Surf Season (June - August)

From June through August, the southern hemisphere winter energizes storm tracks in the South Pacific and sends consistent, long-period SSW and SW groundswell across the equator to Central America. Combined with a return of offshore NE/ENE trade winds, this is the sweet spot of the calendar at Playa Junquillal. Average wave heights climb to 1.5m (5ft), periods hold in the powerful 13-14s range, and ideal wind conditions reach 62-79% of the time. July stands out with a 79% ideal-wind score, giving this west-southwest-facing beach the cleanest, most consistently groomed surf of the year.
