Golfo de Chiriquí Islands

Surfing

The Golfo de Chiriquí has some undervisited, remote surf breaks. Surfing is best from June to December when waves consistently break overhead, and faces sometimes reach 20 feet; there are often four- to five-foot swells during the dry season, too.

The most convenient wave for guests at the Morro Negrito Surf Camp is Emily, a left that breaks over the reef right in front of the camp.

Advanced surfers enjoy the rush of Nestles, a big reef break in front of Isla Silva de Afuera.

The most impressive wave in the gulf is called The Point, a tubular reef break that has surfers booking several weeks at the Morro Negrito Surf Camp year after year.

The Sandbar, a long break that has both lefts and rights, is popular with intermediate surfers and beginners.

Intermediate and advanced surfers enjoy P Land, a left reef break on Isla Silva de Afuera, year-round.
