• Season

  South swell season

  1 Apr – 31 Oct · usuallySurf season

  The southern-winter swells line up along the point at Puerto Malabrigo, and on the best days a single left runs for well over a kilometre. The biggest swells usually come between May and August. Source ↗

• Season

  Grey coastal winter

  1 Jun – 15 Oct · usuallyFog season

  The cold current keeps a lid of low cloud over this desert coast through the southern winter, so the best surf comes with flat grey skies. The water is cold enough for a full wetsuit.

• Holiday

  Fiestas Patrias

  27–30 JulNational holidayCrowded

  Peru's independence holidays at the end of July give the country its winter long weekend, and surfers from Lima and Trujillo drive up during the prime of the swell season. The few surf lodges fill. Source ↗
