The Wave

Best surf comes winter-spring after cold fronts on SE-SW groundswells with light N-NE winds.

Light incoming or slack tides typically tighten the wedge and reduce mush.

🏄

Getting there requires a boat or the regular ferry from Panama City, and the east jetty focuses fast, hollow A-frames with lefts toward the rocks and rights peeling away.

Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
