Pasamayo surf guide

Pasamayo is a surf spot located about 35km (22mi) north of Lima, Peru. It’s tucked in at the base of some huge sand dunes, with the Pan American Highway running high above the waves. Getting there can be a bit of a trek; you can park at the toll and hitch a ride with a bus or truck, or take a boat from Ancon. While walking down the dunes can be a fun adventure, hiking back up after a long surf session can feel like a workout!

The waves here are solid and powerful, breaking over an uneven reef. You'll find consistent surf that works well with a SouthWest swell direction, handling swell sizes around 4ft (1.2m). You can expect both left and right wave directions, making it a versatile spot for different surfers. The best time to hit the waves is during windless early mornings, especially with small to medium swells. Low, mid, and high tides can all be good, but watch out for those overhead days; the fierce tubes can be too much for intermediate surfers.

In the winter months, the spot tends to be quite empty, especially under the thick fog. Even though the waves here are always present, the size and intensity can be overwhelming at times. Make sure to bring your supplies, as it’s super consistent and you’ll want to make the most of your time in the water. Just remember, don’t confuse Pasamayo with Pacasmayo, which is much further up the coast!
