About

Really fantastic surfing sessions, and without crowds. A beautiful spot but thievery is a regular occurance. Not as bad as it used to be, but still be cautious.

Atmosphere:
Great atmosphere, the wave is so quality that there is now a new Surfcamp in front of the beach, with bungalows, security and a very natural enviroment. The wave is actually a popular surf campsite and many people have been robbed while camping there. Stories of thieves coming in at night and holding people up are many.

Additional Info:
Secret Spot, Magical,Classical, perfectly,very consistent with all swells. No crowd. Not too much people knows about it. You can't miss it ! One of the best Peruvian Spots. This is a complex wave. Entry in and out of the water is dead easy even when its big, but the outside section suits experts and intermediates only, the inside section can be ridden even by beginners. Outside it breaks very close to rocks you definitely need to be aware of, starting on the furthest rock outcrop on big set days (about 8-10 feet). The takeoff here is intense, and sometimes impossible, jacking and pitching with backwash and sidewash, with crunching, thundering lips. You can take off an a routine 6 footer on the outside only to find yourself going backwards up the wave now an 8 footer, then embedded in the lip over the falls. The kind of place you can do nothing wrong and still get crunched. Locals talk about the "catapault", a lip which throws you way out in front of the wave if you are unlucky enough to get a sidewash combine with a big takeoff. There are several rocks in this zone, especially toward the last rock outcrop: Ive seen tourists turn up and miss it by a few feet, not even knowing it was there. Even the locals take this section seriously. You can be rewarded with a great powerful crunching wall for about 100-150m on the outside, before you get to the last rock outcrop. Size outside is from 4 to 10 feet. Then there is the inside section, which is usually mellow and can be ridden by beginners, holds from about 2 to 7 feet. You takeoff at the last rock outcrop and can ride for a further 200m, or so. Definitely best at low tide, and when there is more sand in the bay, holds southwest wind but south wind is a touch choppy. West swells best, but any swell will do, best at 6 to 8 feet, southwest wind, I give 7 or 8 out of ten, depending on the sand buildup
