Local Knowledge & Surf Guide
Local Knowledge
Drakes Bay is an exposed reef break in Golfo Dulce that offers fairly consistent surf. The most favorable conditions are a south-southwest groundswell with offshore winds from the north-northeast. The spot is rarely crowded, but surfers should be aware of rips, rocks, and isolation. The best time for consistent, clean waves is typically in April.
