Big lagoon
Panama · Panamá Oeste
The Punta Chame lagoon is one of the most popular kitesurfing spots in Panama. Located at the tip of a 25-kilometer peninsula in the Pacific, this lagoon offers exceptional conditions for riders of all levels. It is an authentic place, away from urban hustle, where kitesurfing reigns supreme and the atmosphere remains relaxed and welcoming.
The large lagoon, accessible after about 20 minutes of downwind from the main spot, is a true playground for experienced riders. With its butter-flat waters and vastness, it is the paradise of freestyle and long sessions. The spot benefits from consistent winds blowing from the northeast, creating stable and predictable conditions throughout the year.

The large lagoon of Punta Chame offers side-on to side-shore wind conditions, with a steady flow coming from the north-northeast. The water is extremely flat, particularly around mid-tide, making it an ideal spot for freestyle and technical maneuvers. At low tide, the lagoon can become too shallow or partially dry, while at high tide, the water becomes more choppy.
Launching is generally done from the main spot, followed by a downwind of about 20 minutes to reach the large lagoon. This lagoon is immense, offering plenty of space to navigate without congestion. It is recommended to treat this spot as a downwind and to arrange a pick-up from the lagoon due to its distance from the kite schools. Optimal conditions occur between mid-low tide and mid-high tide, offering a window of 2 to 3 hours per tidal cycle.
