A thick and ledgy two way reef peak. Best when big, from 6-10'. Needs a good combination of swell and no wind. Rides more like a beach break when small with shifting peaks. When big a peak shows up with tubes. Often closes out.
Overview
Atmosphere
Usually empty...but Peruvians are into trends in that some surf spots become popular for a year or so and then fall out of favor. Arica is largely underrated and overlooked.

Arica in Lima
Beautiful peruvian beach break Arica. Like San pedro and Explosivos it tends to have lots of bodyboaders all year round doing huge airs.
