Bocas del Toro, Panama, has two surf seasons. The first one is from December until April. The biggest and most powerful swells come in December and January. At this time of year, crowds can get bigger as tourism's peak season is also during this period. February and March also see consistent swell with sunnier weather and fewer crowds. April is considered a transition month that sees smaller swells more suited for the beach breaks.

The second surf season is during June, July, and August. July sees just as much swell as December and January. June and August traditionally have smaller waves and are great months to surf the beach breaks with the occasional good reef break swell. One of the great things about surfing in Bocas is the variety of waves within a short distance.

The lodge

Hike through the mangrove row of Isla Bastimentos and arrive at Selina Bocas del Toro Red Frog. Among the daily activities, there are snorkeling classes, jungle walks, and special excursions to secret beaches and national parks, always led by our expert guides. We have a palm tree garden, an outdoor pool, a seafood restaurant, a cafeteria, a yoga deck, and a coworking area with a high internet connection.

If you're in the middle of a yoga class and you hear something in the trees, it could be a monkey or a sloth. If you want to listen to music at night, travel by boat to one of the parties that play samba, reggaeton and African music that celebrates the Afro-Caribbean cultural tradition. You can take a water taxi from Bocas Town if you come by boat.
