An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred only 21 minutes ago 58 km southeast of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 14. km beneath the epicenter near Puntarenas, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, early afternoon on Monday, July 13th, 2026, at 2:57 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.3 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Jaco (pop. 4,100) located 15 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Tejar (pop. 22,400) located 56 km from the epicenter, San Rafael Abajo (pop. 27,400) 57 km away, Esparza (pop. 15,600) 57 km away, Chacarita (pop. 26,400) 57 km away, Puntarenas (pop. 35,700) 58 km away, Aserri (pop. 25,900) 76 km away, San Miguel (pop. 28,800) 79 km away, San Jose (pop. 335,000) 81 km away, and San Francisco (pop. 55,900) 82 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available.
