November in Costa Rica is a kind of quiet magic. The beaches in Santa Teresa feel open and unhurried, the surf lineups are mellow and uncrowded, and the hills glow a deep, vibrant green after the rains. If you’ve been waiting for the “right moment” to reset, this is it: fewer crowds, playful waves, warm water, and the breathing room to explore at your own pace.

Think of it as Costa Rica’s version of spring—life feels fresh, colors feel brighter, and you feel more alive. For women looking for a surf and yoga retreat that balances adventure and calm, November in Costa Rica offers the best of both: space to be present, and conditions that make learning (or leveling up) genuinely fun.

Why November in Costa Rica Is So Special

• Uncrowded lineups: Gentle, rolling waves with fewer people in the water—ideal for beginners and confidence-building progression.
• Quieter beaches: Santa Teresa’s shoreline feels spacious and calm, perfect for long walks, sunset swims, and slow mornings.
• Lush, photogenic landscape: The green season lingers in the best way—palm fronds shine, flowers pop, and jungle trails feel alive.
• A true reset before the holidays: Trade cold and chaos for sun, salt, and time to breathe—return home grounded.
• Budget and availability perks: Better flight options and more accommodation flexibility than peak months.

Breathe, Move, and Explore—At Your Own Pace

November in Costa Rica gives you something priceless: space. With fewer crowds, you can move through town without hurry, linger over breakfast, book last-minute massages, and paddle out without pressure. Mornings are for surfing, afternoons for yoga or waterfalls, evenings for barefoot dinners under the stars. It’s the kind of breathing room that lets you actually hear yourself again.

Real Women, Real Stories

“I wanted a reset before the holidays. This was exactly it. The best surf coaching, starting the day with some restorative yoga, and a group of friends I didn’t know I needed.” — Gabi, Minnesota

“I was nervous about surfing. The smaller group meant one-on-one coaching, so I improved every day. Had a great time full of laughter, great food, and the best sleep I’ve had in years.” — Michelle, New York

“Your patience, surfing knowledge, energy, and positive attitude are inspiring.  Best adventure of my lifetime.”  Kate, Wyoming

These are not marketing quotes—they’re love letters from women who took the leap to say “yes” to themselves here. Words that become invitations when you read them by a warm beachside fire.
