I didn't go there during Oct, but August instead. I was at Playa Hermosa which is about 45 mins away from Liberia on the Pacific side. Incredibly beautiful country and I swore to myself I would return on day.
We went on some snorkeling tours, fishing and enjoyed the ocean most of the time. Arenal Volcano is a great tour if you get the chance. There is a hot spring resort up there that has about 20 different hot springs to enjoy. I'd highly recommend going there if you get the chance. The drive up the mountain is incredible.
We also did a river boat tour. I forget the exact area, but man was it cool to see crocodiles, monkeys and various other wild life in their natural habitat. Afterwards we enjoyed a meal in some tiny town that our tour guides brought us to. Take a riverboat tour if you can.
We also took a day trip down to Nicaragua which was pretty cool as well.
I never got to surf, but just by lying on the beach and watching some of the waves, you would have a blast. To this day Costa Rica is the most beautiful and green country I've been to. It's also pretty safe and since they have no actual army, the government has been able to allocate those funds on various infrastructure projects and make it more tourist friendly. The women there are hot beyond belief. You will enjoy yourself immensely and I am extremely jealous!
