Panama Rights surf guide

Panama Rights is a surf spot located just north of the river mouth. It’s not the most popular location, but it has its moments when the conditions are right. The waves here work best when the river mouth is closed, giving you some decent rides. It tends to be less crowded than other spots, so if you’re looking for a chill session, this might be worth checking out.

The best waves at Panama Rights come in from the east and work with swells from the north and south. It can handle swell sizes as small as 1 ft (about 0.3 meters) and has a point break that creates right-handed waves. For the most favorable conditions, the wind should be coming from the west. You can catch waves here at any tide—low, mid, or high—but be ready for a bit of a challenge since this spot is better suited for intermediate surfers.

When you’re out there, you’ll notice that the waves break over sand, which can make for a smoother ride. Just keep an eye on the conditions, as everything can change quickly. Overall, it’s a decent spot for those looking to improve their skills without the hassle of large crowds.
