Las Bóvedas is located in the bustling area of “Casco Viejo” in Panama City. This surf spot is a rock-bottomed reef peak that attracts surfers looking for a wave in the city. It's right in the middle of the action, making it a convenient spot for those looking to catch some surf while exploring the local culture.

This spot works best with swells coming from the south and southwest, handling sizes from 2 ft (about 0.6 m) and up. The waves break over an uneven reef, producing both left and right rides. While the conditions are typically suited for intermediate surfers, it's essential to check the local surf reports before paddling out. The optimal wind direction is from the northwest, and the spot can work well during low to high tide, providing a bit of flexibility for surfers.

As an urban surf location, expect crowds, especially during weekends and peak times. This can affect your experience, so it might be worth scouting for less busy times to surf. Keep an eye out for changing conditions, as the reef can be unpredictable at times.
