Surfing

El Palmar is a great place for surfing in Panama. There are several spots for surfing at El Palmar.

The Point Is a rock bottom point break directly to the right of the beach break, and has right peeling waves at medium to high tide. There must be a good swell for this spot to break well, but when it is good, it can get very powerful and fun.

 

The Front Is a beach break with rock bottom on the left hand side. It is very crowded on weekends, and there is a surf camp located directly in front of it, so it can get crowded. The beach break is a close-out, and mainly beginners go there to surf.

 

Hawaiicito, (Little Hawaii) Is a rock bottom point break to the left of the beach break, down to the left of the concrete wall. It breaks to the left at full high tide, and can be fun, but this spot is quite weak, and can only handle a small swell of about 3 to 4 feet, otherwise it closes out.

 

Jeffrey's which is the best of El Palmar, is a long, right hand, and fast wave, that breaks over rocks, probably one of the best in the bay.

Both Hawaiicito and Jeffrey's are in 200mts from Manglar Lodge.
