Located in the department of Piura, Cabo Blanco is widely held to
feature the best left-breaking wave in Peru. A rapid and short
wave (which makes a quick take-off obligatory) and one of
the best tubes in the country. The wave can reach a height
of 4 meters, although normally it ranges from 2-3 meters.
The best time for surfing is from November to December. It
is also a dangerous wave as it breaks over a reef, which becomes
more exposed when swells wash away the sand. Wave frequency
depends directly on swells coming from the north (generated
in the North Pole and which pass through Hawaii).
Climate: Subtropical, warm and
sunny all year-round. Temperatures range from 24°C-28°C.
Access: Cabo Blanco lies 153
km north of the city of Piura. To get to Cabo Blanco, surfers
need to take the winding paved road that runs from the town
of El Alto, located at Kilometer 1,137 of the North Pan-American
Highway.
Services: Cabo Blanco is a fishing
cove that has lodgings and restaurants.
Apt for all kinds of vehicles.
