Puerto Viejo surf guide

Surf: One of the longest rides in Lima region when a good S swell wraps around the point and peels down the extensive sandbars that form on the lee side of the headland. It will break all tides, but prefers low and will be well protected from all S winds. The linear walls will excite both short and longboarders with little hollow pockets and a lip-line coping perfect for flick, float or fly. Won't handle big swells from double overhead, but it's pure, perfect fun below that size. If it is too small, head up the beach to the Tres Islas stretch aka Puerto Nuevo and snag some short but sick sandbank shacks. Environment: Strong currents at the point and close to shore, where the shorebreak can be brutal in big swells. Walk back around after a long one. Gets way crowded when the Lima crew descend on weekends. Intermediates up.
