Additional Surfing Infos
 It pretty much works all year long, so if you just want to go and surf hardcore, for your whole vacation this is the spot. Picks up all swell.

During the summer is the prime season for this spot, and expect prime crowds. There will be longboarders in florescent speedos going over the falls while you are setting up for the tube. Had two boards mangled because of the idiots who go there. Be careful, and bring ding repair.
  Overview
  Atmosphere nice and friendly
  General the smallest day i had it, was when it was 4-6´I was getting barreled. And the locals did not even bother to go out, it was the smallest day of the year they said.

It is a great wave if you get it uncrowded, they don't call it Santa Crowdalina for no reason

Where is the best place to go on mid June?
Anyone knows a good spot to go on med Jun for a 10 days surf trip? I was thinking Bocas del Toro or Santa Catalina.

What's it like in early April?
Can anyone tell me what Santa Catalina is like in early April? Average surf size? Crowd size? Weather?
