As a native from Costa Rica, considering you are coming in April and depending on WHERE are you going here, you may not see a single drop of rain.
April is the TOP of our dry season, mainly to everywhere on the Pacific side (Puntarenas, Guanacaste and Central Valley including capital San José).
A bit of rain may be expected on the Caribbean side (Limón, Northern Plains like San Carlos, Arenal, Monteverde.)
Also, wind is of no concern during April-May, but moisture condensation is to be considered if traveling to the Cloud Forests like Monteverde or such.
Rainy season starts mid May, but with very predictable weather. Clear mornings, a couple of short showers mid afternoon and clear evenings. That's it.
