Additional Surfing Infos |
| | If its not too big you can go in right on the point off a blocky ledge - paddle out 20-30m into the take off zone. Good timing obligatory.
The take-off on the point is steep, fast and crowded, the wave holds a good section then fattens and slows, before picking up speed again for a freight-train run into a barreling finish
Above it says ´normal day´ of 50m.... actually a normal day it doesn´t work at all... but when it does it is at least 150m: all or nothing here!

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Despite being so close to the city, this is a beautiful spot. OK so its not Tahiti, but it has its own charm, and the wave is real quality. |
| |
General |
Awesome..... Apart from the fact that the spot requires a big swell to be running before it starts working, it has to be one of the best waves in Peru. Given the slightly sectiony nature, it can hold crowds with intermediate take-off spots. |
