In Panama everything happens at Punta Chame, a long sandy peninsula on the Pacific coast. In the dry season the trade winds blow there from the north, accelerated by the terrain.
The destination is still little known. You get space, flat water and warm water all season.
The season runs from December to April, during the dry season. The wind is then steady, between 15 and 25 knots, and rain is rare.
The rest of the year, in the rainy season, there is practically no wind.
Best period : December to April
In November: 19% kiteable days
Historical monthly averages, not a forecast.
Punta Chame has several areas: the main beach, large flat-water lagoons and sandbars. The tide changes the spot a lot. At high tide the beach shrinks to a narrow strip.
On the Caribbean coast, Bocas del Toro is first of all a surf archipelago. The more remote San Blas islands offer turquoise water and the same trade winds.
Getting there. Punta Chame is an hour to an hour and a half's drive from Panama City, the last part on a rough road. Tocumen international airport has direct flights from several European cities.
Tide. Check the times: the room to launch changes a lot between low and high tide.
What to wear. The water is warm. Shorts or a shorty are enough.
