Villa is a surf spot located south of Lima, known for its small swell beach. The waves can get hollow and punchy, especially when the wind is slack. It's a decent backup when other breaks aren't working, although you should be aware that it can also produce heavy closeouts. The beach can experience strong longshore currents, so keep that in mind when you're out there.
The best conditions for surfing at Villa typically arise with a southwest swell direction, but it can also handle swells coming from the south and northwest. The spot effectively works with swell sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters) and offers fun beach breaks both to the left and right. If you're planning to catch some waves, the ideal wind direction is from the northeast, and you can surf it during low, mid, or high tides. Just remember that it's not the best place for beginners, as the spot is geared more toward intermediate surfers.
When the waves are on, it’s a good idea to be fit, especially when the swell gets overhead. The beach clubs nearby do have some facilities if you need a break between sessions. It can get crowded when the surf is flat elsewhere in town, so expect some company out in the water.
