Spot guide
Santa Catalina is an S-facing point break in Pacific, Panama. It picks up swell from S and S to SW and W to WNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 75% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
