The Western half of the knob that sticks out to the South on the Pacific Coast. Exposed, good bathymetry, I could surf and absolutely f--k fish up with a pedal kayak.

Alternately, somewhere on the Carib side between due North of the city, and ENE or so of the city. That looks like heaven to me; decent bathymetry, probably zero crowds, I bet lots of trade windswell with lots of peaks and few people....

I scored somewhere in that vicinity and it was exactly as you described. Short rides but an absolute conveyor belt with just myself plus 1 local for a short while. Would've been a goat rodeo with even 2-3 more people. Probably caught more waves in a single day there than any other day of my #isarf life. So fun.

So to be clear, you were in a tight takeoff spot setup, and you were in Not Bocas?
