Pavones needs a big swell to work, so unlikely in January. Best bets are Hermosa or other west coast beach breaks. Or try the Caribbean side.

I’m
going to Costa Rica
in January. It’s worth to go to Pavones in January? i heard that there is no
waves there that time of the year. What’s the probability to find any swell in
January?

Yeah, that place is wack, my buddy went and said it wasn’t worth it, so many other places in CR that are so much better.

You couldn’t be more wrong. Pavones is only a left. Look at the geography on a map. It can’t ever be a right. Plus, any river mouth in CR will have Crocs. They don’t bother people, especially if you don’t sit right in the river mouth.

Hey, if anyone is interested, I’m selling a lot of 8000 square meters and a house. The place is 40 minutes from Playa Pavones and I’m selling it just for $40000.

Pavones is as good if not better than the images. Although it needs some size to start working. But once it starts working it can be a 400 yard long ride. The outer point is bigger and section more across the river mouth, but you can expect 50-100 yard long waves here. The inner point is pure perfection, it doesn’t section, just reels off perfectly for up over 100 yards. It’s a little bit out of the way and crowded but well worth the journey.

horrible place with nothing like the pictures, definitely someone photoshoping lefts on a beach, it’s actually a right that ends in this Croc lined sandbar, U R Better off surfing Jaco for it’s perfection and friendly locals
