Additional Surfing Infos |
| | An excellent lefthander with two defined section. Better and longer at high tide. And glassy in early mornings. The first section, after you drop it, is very fast and allows you to break the wave with snaps, off the tops and floaters. After around 100 meters you get the second section, whic is slower. In the second section, the wave becomes smaller and you just have space for roundhouses cutbacks, finishing her with a big floater in front of the beach. Water is warm, but sometimes it gets cold. So take a wet suit. The weather is dry and hot all over the year. Wear sunscream and glasses. The bottom is full of rocks, but they offer no danger. They are flat rocks. Don't worry if fishes start smacking your legs and your boardshorts. It is really fun. They might think you are food...

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
This small town is a live! There's art, There's nightlife, and the people are very friendly. Local surfers are fine, but don't mess up at the line up. Be carefull the girls in the line up too: they are really stupid and boring and very unpolite. There are many places to log in, and realy good food at Faro and Spada Restaurants. Everything is cheap. You can spend the whole day with 10 dollars. Don't drink any water: buy mineral water bottles. Unlike the southern Peru, this area is green with warmer water. There are tourists from all around the globe and the place will keep you busy in and out of the water! Take condoms: night clubs are really hot! Yeaaaaaaaaaaah! |

General |

Entramos al mar casi de noche, con miles de tablistas inexpertos y a pelo. El mar estaba realmente caliente y la música nos acompañaba. Olitas chiquitas pero divertidas. Con muy poco fondo, pero se pudo correr algo divertido. Salimos completamente de
