Earthquakes in Costa Rica — June 2025

The month's largest event in Costa Rica was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Golfito, Costa Rica on 07 June 2025 at 04:06 UTC. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Costa Rica monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and up from the 1 recorded the previous month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 2 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.8 near Golfito, Costa Rica on 07 June at 21 km; M4.3 near Tamarindo, Costa Rica on 25 June at 10 km.
That is 31% below the 3 events Costa Rica averages per month across the 20 months on record.
