Costa Rica Surf Travel Guide

Surfing Recommendations

Costa Rica is not known for offering tremendous size in its waves, but rather, consistent head high surf at any time of the year. Many people think that the best way of surfing in Costa Rica is to rent a car and try to follow the surf. This, with very few exceptions, is the best way to spend a lot of unnecessary time in your car and miss the waves. Costa Rica’s surf areas are defined by location and seasons which make surfing in Costa Rica very user friendly.

The Northern Pacific Coast is generally the most consistent destination from December ~ April. During this season, strong offshore winds combine with ideal swell directions to put breaks like Witches Rock, Playa Negra and Playa Grande in perfect form. The Central and Southern Pacific Coasts are generally best between May ~ November as the south swell season creeps in while the Caribbean Coast tends to pick up the best conditions from November ~ March. These are certainly generalizations which are by no means, guaranteed. However, using these characterizations is the best way to plan your vacation.

Benefits of VermiGrow Castings Tea

Methods of Use:
Foliar Spray
VermiGrow Castings Tea foliar spray can be used to supply supplemental doses of minor and major nutrients, plant hormones, stimulants, and other beneficial substances. Benefits of this foliar spray include yield increases, resistance to diseases and insect pests, improved drought tolerance, and enhanced crop quality.

Foliar applications are timed to coincide with specific vegetative or fruiting stages of growth. Applications are used to aid plants in recovery from transplant shock, hail damage, or the results of other weather extremes.

Soil Drench
When applied as a drench, VermiGrow Castings Tea promotes good soil structure. The microorganisms found in organic teas excrete organic gums and resins that, together with fungal hyphae, bind soil particles into structural aggregates, improving both soil structure and water-holding capacity.

How to Apply It?
Plan ahead – it is important that you apply the tea the SAME DAY that you purchase it because the tea will become less oxygenated over time. Remember, the tea is alive!
