Peru offers a large variety of waves, that are perfect for beginners surfing on longjohns, intermediate, and advanced surfers. It is noteworthy to mention that the northern coast of Peru boasts the largest left hand point break in the world, located in Máncora; and it also figures the longest left handed wave in the world, this one in Chicama. Chicama is over 4 km long and when finishing a ride walking back is not an option - just get out and walk right back up the beach. Swells are generated far south and most of the spots get consistent offshore winds. The large number of surf spots make it easy to find uncrowded waves.
