surfing in Peru
  Peru has some of the longest waves on the planet (counted in miles...). It doesn't rain in Peru and it's not too hot or too cold. All S-SW spots have very reliable swell from April to October.
Plus: all levels of surf available, mostly uncrowded (hum... this can mean quasi-desert), long waves.
Minus: often foggy, low water temperatures, problems of access and safety, crowds around Lima.nuevo sol (PEN)

Books on Peru
There are a ton of books on South America and Peru in general (Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, etc).

But there are hardly any books on Surfing in Peru. The only one I've really been able to find is the 'Peru Surfing Travel Guide'. I couldn't find it ANYWHERE in Peru after 6+ months of searching. I also wasn't able to get it off of amazon.com (back order forever).

I did finally find it from http://www.wetsand.com/product.asp?prodid=2409

They shipped it promptly and I had no problems at all. Great service and I'm glad that had it because no one else seems to.

The book itself is helpful, but I was hoping for a more detailed breakdown of each beach, including diagrams of currents, etc.

Mr Wish
Oh great, the mighty usa's are there too. Don't we all wish they would go away. It would be quieter, with more listening, understanding and less mouth banter.
