El Cabezo surf guide

Surf: Isla San Lorenzo is Peru’s largest island, lying 4km (2.5mi) offshore from the city shores. A left will break at El Cabezo below the lighthouse on the largest NW/SW swells, but is little documented since the island is deserted with no regularly scheduled trips. Any S wind will be offshore enough. Environment: Only locals with boats and intimate knowledge of the conditions needed for making it worth the long trip out to this desiccated, mountainous isle will ever surf here, albeit alone.
