Quepos Fishing Seasons

Dry season

January

Sailfish numbers climb on the Central Pacific as the green-season tuna, marlin and dorado taper off. Conditions turn sunny and calm, with short runs from Los Sueños and Quepos. On the Caribbean, tarpon season opens as the seas settle. A great month to start a billfish trip.

Dry season

February

Prime time for sailfish — the Central Pacific peak is on, with double-digit release days possible out of Los Sueños and Quepos. Occasional marlin, tuna and dorado mix in. Calm seas and clear water make February one of the best months of the year.

Dry season

March

Sailfish fishing stays red-hot across the Central Pacific. Marlin show up more often, and inshore roosterfish and snapper bite well along the rocky points. Dry-season seas are flat and the marinas are buzzing — book early to land a top boat.

Dry season

April

Sailfish are still strong early before numbers ease mid-month, and blue marlin start to appear. Roosterfish fishing heats up inshore along Guanacaste and the South Pacific. The last of the calm dry-season weather makes April a reliable, do-it-all month.

Wet season

May

The rains arrive and the bite broadens. Sailfish begin moving north and the Guanacaste season fires up; dorado show on the weed lines and tuna feed offshore. Mornings stay bright, prices drop, and the variety is excellent across the Pacific.

Wet season

June

Peak variety. Guanacaste's sailfish and marlin bite is at its best, dorado are everywhere, and yellowfin tuna feed in big schools. Inshore roosterfish turn aggressive along the points. A superb month for a mixed-bag day on the water.

Wet season

July

Big-game season in the north — sailfish and blue marlin run strong off Guanacaste, while tuna and dorado keep rods bent on the Central Pacific. Roosterfish peak inshore. Expect afternoon showers, but the mornings are prime fishing time

Wet season

August

Marlin and sailfish stay hot off Guanacaste, tuna schools are thick, and the Caribbean snook run begins to build at Barra del Colorado. Roosterfish remain excellent inshore. Low-season prices meet high-season fishing — a smart angler's month.

Wet season

September

Offshore stays strong with blue marlin, sailfish and tuna, plus dorado around the floating debris. On the Caribbean, the tarpon and the big snook run hit their stride. It's the quietest, greenest time of year — and one of the most productive.

Wet season

October

Blue marlin and tuna keep producing on the Pacific, while the Caribbean tarpon-and-snook bite is excellent. Rain peaks this month, so plan morning departures. Few crowds, low prices and wide-open water reward anglers who make the trip.

Transition

November

The dry season returns to the Central Pacific and marlin fishing turns excellent off Quepos and Jacó. Sailfish numbers build back, tuna and dorado stay strong, and the seas begin to calm. A standout month for billfish before the high season.

Dry season

December

The marlin bite peaks off the Central Pacific and sailfish return in force as the dry season sets in. Calm seas, festive marinas and world-class offshore action make December one of Costa Rica's finest months on the water.
