About this spot
Lobitos, a small surf town on the desert coast of Piura in northern Peru, has steady southerly wind for much of the year and long left-hand point waves.
Riding here means waves, rocky points and surfers in the line-up, so it is for experienced wave riders. Give surfers priority and stay clear of the rocks.

Needs local verification: Compiled in October 2026 from independent spot guides and the general descriptions of the Paracas and northern Peru kite schools. Launch areas, reserve rules and access change, so everything here needs confirming on site; coordinates are approximate, not verified launch points. No verified live webcam was found, so the camera links open Windy's webcam search instead of a local feed.
Local hazards
- Rocky points and reef
- Surfers in the line-up
