Costa Rica Waves: The middle of June to the middle of July definitely did not disappoint on the wave front. There were plenty of overhead waves to be found up and down the Pacific coastline. While some spots maxed out, others held the perfect shape and sized waves; you just had to be in the right place at the right time. This month’s surf photography highlights Rocas Bruja (Witch’s Rock) and Avellenas, both of which fired on multiple occasions with offshore winds early in the morning, as well as a few glassy sunset sessions and even several all-day offshore wind days. This season of south-southwest swells has been pretty consistent and  a special blessing to more exposed spots.
