Conchan
Edit SpotAbout
One of the best quality beach breaks in the area. However due to proximity to Lima it can get crowded when it is working well, especially with body-boarders.
Atmosphere:
Although this is a fast hollow wave, the take-off is less critical than at Explosivos - here you are unlikely to get a face full of sand when you bite it!
Additional Info:
Conchan has three spots - all situated under the obvious industrial jetty. On the south side ther is the biggest and best wave, which breaks both left (away from the pier), and right. To the north of the Pier the wave also froms a peak - going left and right. A little further north there is another right. Only the wave on the south side holds the bigger swell (up to 8ft). The others close out below thid size.
