Surfing
The swells around Panama come in from the west and south. They are generated from the roaring forties (south Pacific swells) and the hurricane swells. Surfing in Panama is best from April to October. For experienced surfers there are strong reef breaks at P-Land (Chiriqui province); Manzanillo or San Marino (Colon province), or there’s the point break at Punta Brava (Veragaus province).
Beach breaks at Barqueta and Olivas (Chiriqui province) are suitable for intermediate level surfers. The best reef breaks are in the Bocas del Toro islands. Intermediate level point breaks are located at Cambutal (Panama City), El Palmar (Santiago province), Santa Catalina (Veraguas province) and Tetas (south).
Beginners can learn new skills in Morro Negrito (south west) or on The Point (Chiriqui province).
