Costa Rica in August

[mbsc]

I will be taking 2 teenage boys (14) to CR in August. They are both beginner+ surfers. Looking for advice for a good beach break with decent waves where they will not get hammered. Would like to be within 2 to 3 hours driving time of San Jose airport.

The only beaches within 2-3 hours drive from San Jose is either Puntarenas area or the Jaco area. Don't bother with Puntarenas, water quality in August there is horrible.

Jaco has a good safe beach break with a smaller break area for beginners. Lots of accomodation options, Hermosa and Esterillos are close for bigger action, most people speak some english in Jaco.

There is lots of info in this forum if you search for Costa Rica or Jaco, If you can't find what you want or need more info, PM me and I can try to help you out.
