Punta Roca in Panama offers consistent surf year-round, with ground swell dominating the swell regime—typically above 85% probability every month, peaking from April to September (90-96%). The mean swell size ranges from 0.8m in the early months (January-March) to 1.2m from May to September, making this the prime window for larger, more powerful waves. Wind conditions, however, play a critical role in quality. While ground swell is reliable, onshore winds (bad conditions) are prevalent, especially from May to October (70-83% probability). The best balance occurs in the shoulder months—December to April—when wind conditions improve slightly (good winds 43-48% probability), though swell size remains modest (0.8-1.0m). December stands out as the optimal month, with decent ground swell (85%) and nearly balanced wind odds (48% good). Late dry season (April) also presents a sweet spot, offering larger swells (1.0m) before winds deteriorate. For surfers prioritizing consistency and size, May-September delivers the biggest waves, but expect challenging winds. If cleaner conditions are preferred, target December-April, accepting slightly smaller swells. Advanced surfers may still score in peak season by timing offshore wind windows early in the day.
