More about El Pico – Ancash surfspot
The town of Barranca has several lodging options and restaurants, but there is little to see and only mediocre beachbreak on the city beaches. If a small to moderate SW swell hits, then the fickle righthand reef known as El Pico can deliver some excellent, powerful righthand tubes from mid to high tide. Big swells shut down this stretch.
Urchins lurk among the already sharp reef. 194 kilometers from Lima.
