Punta Roquitas
Edit SpotAbout
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.
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.
Additional Info:
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.
