Surfing The Point
A left point in Morro Negrito, Panama, for advanced surfers.
The Point is a 20-minute walk south of the Morro Negrito camp. It needs a sizeable south-west swell, and at lower tides it throws fast, pitching lefts.
It's not an everyday wave. When it works, the walk and the size keep it empty, and it's for confident surfers.
It's a long way from help, so go with someone.
