Additional Information
Its an easy wave, although it usuaully tends to close out when the swell is large.
Its a very polluted beach but it is probably the best beach that you can surf in a 1-15 minute drive. You park your car infront of the beach and enter, you can spot your car no problem from inside.
Atmosphere
The waters can disgust surfers with some floating debris. Occasionally there is debris. If not, it tends to look clean. Cold waters all year round, unless El Nino. Since close, a lot of Lima's surfers surf that beach, tends to always be crowded.
General
Its the best wave in the Lima area. Most Peruvian surfers come down to this beach to surf beacuse of its distance. It isn't a great wave, but when its hard to go South, it satisfies the need to surf.
