Dominical Surf Tides — May 2026
Bahía de Uvita · NOAA TWC0341
May marks the changeover at Dominical from late dry season into veranito — the warm, sunny stretch that runs through August. South-southwest swells start arriving more consistently from the Southern Hemisphere's storm track, mornings stay glassy until the trades settle, and the water sits around 79°F (26°C). The mountains behind the coast keep our microclimate sheltered as the central Pacific transitions into its green-season rhythm. Dominical's beach break works best on the push from low to mid tide — time your dawn paddles below, and read our May travel guide or join a coached week.
