We love lake living and thought we wanted to be on Arenal. However, a friend who lives near San Jose says that property on the lake gets lots of wind, most of the time. That is one thing we do not want. Does anyone know?
The lakeshore can get breezy but it’s definitely not all the time.
The windiest section is the north end, from November to April. It get strong, steady winds averaging 25 mph during that time, attracting windsurfers from around the world. But the lake is 30 miles long, so the winds don’t blow that hard in parts further south. And other times of year there is much less wind and the average doesn’t get above 15 mph.
