Silverbacks Spot Guide

Silverbacks is Bocas del Toro’s premier big wave surf spot. It’s an offshore wave off the island of Bastimentos and only a 20-minute boat ride from Bocas Town. The huge waves emerge from deep waters that hit a large reed ledge, creating a powerful, right barrel. Silverbacks is not the longest wave and needs a large swell to work. But when it’s firing, it can produce 20 ft surf. Needless to say, this is for experienced, big wave surfers only. Wizard Beach is nearby and is a good spot for surfers of all levels.
