Varadero El Ñuro
Edit SpotAbout
The construction of the new pier for the artisan fishermen 2 years ago has shortened the wave by 30 or 50 meters aprox, making it more dangerous, just like happened in Cabo Blanco almost 10 years ago.
Atmosphere:
The spot is totally uncrowded, only surfed by locals (all people from Lima who have settled in the north shore, including me).
Additional Info:
This spot only breaks one or two times a year. Some years don't break at all. A big N or NW swell is needed.
