Surf camp at Pico Alto (Peru)

Comments

Peru has been called the most consistent locations on the planet. The surf breaks year round and with over 1400 miles of coastline every type of wave can be encountered. The points, reefs and beach breaks receive their swells from storms in the roaring 40's and also from major storms in the North Pacific. Typically in the summer the surf averages 4 to 10 feet with some days easily reaching 20 feet. In the winter the surf averages 8 to 15 feet with days in the 20-foot plus size very common. Peru has an extremely large swell window and it can receive swells from the South, Southwest, West and Northwest.
Punta Hermosa, just South of Lima is considered Peru's big wave location. This area of headlands, reefs and coves tends to focus the swell energy creating ideal surfing conditions. The largest wave in South America, Pico Alto is located here. Wind conditions in Peru are often very light and this in turn creates glassy waves year round. Because most of the surf spots in Punta Hermosa are reef point breaks, paddling out when it's big is not a problem, always dry hair. Water temperatures are comfortable. In the summer you can wear just trunks or a spring suit. In the winter either a spring or full suit depending on conditions.
