Playa Venao surf guide

Playa Venao is a popular surf spot located in Panama, known for its crescent-shaped beach that attracts a mix of surfers. The town nearby is actually called Venado, and you’ll find plenty of surfer-friendly places to stay. This area has a laid-back vibe, making it a great spot for both seasoned surfers and newcomers looking to catch some waves.

This beachbreak typically has waves suitable for various skill levels, primarily offering both left and right waves. It works best with south swell, and you’ll find it can handle swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and up. The best conditions usually occur with a low to mid tide and are favored by north winds. The sand bottom makes for a softer landing if you wipe out. Overall, the waves can cater well to beginners, so if you’re starting out, you’ll likely feel right at home here.

Since the surrounding hills provide some wind protection, Playa Venao is a regular spot for contests. So, even if you’re not competing, you might catch some local or regional events happening while you’re there, adding some excitement to your surf trip.
