Two distinct seasons that define the nomad calendar: the dry season (Dec-Apr) brings clear blue skies, offshore winds in the morning, and dust on the dirt roads in town; the green season (May-Nov) brings afternoon downpours, dense rainforest greens, and significantly cheaper rents. September and October are the wettest months — many villas close. The dry-season base is 27-30°C with 70-75% humidity, reliably surfable mornings, and effectively zero rain.

Tax-exempt on foreign-earned income. Standard visa-free 90 days on arrival for US/UK/Canada/EU; Rentista (USD 2,500/mo, 2-year) and Pensionado (USD 1,000/mo pension) cover residency paths. Border runs to Nicaragua via Peñas Blancas are the workaround for nomads stacking multiple visa-free stays.
