Question

i might go to Lima,Peru the next summer and i want to know if the beaches are good for surfing and how are the beaches like over there?

Answer 1

Honestly I don't know but it should be good. But if you are going to Peru you absolutely must visit Machu-Pichu...

Answer 2

I used to live in peru...it pretty much rocks.

Answer 3

There are many locations throughout Peru that are popular with international surfers. Lima for one has several good beaches such as La Herradura and several of the municipal beaches good for amateurs. Just south near the Pachacamac archeological site, Punta Hermosa, is another good spot with easy access from the capital. Heading north there are a number of long beaks, including Chicama, which is thought to be the world’s longest left break. Mancora, not far from the border with Ecuador, is the country’s main surfer hangout though; with the year round tropical weather and clearest water few are disappointed. Nearby Cabo Blanco and Pacasmayo are also good, although you will need your own transportation to get there.

Answer 4

Ocho, we've got the best beaches to do surfing, the water is a little cold BUT once you start surfing you'll forget about it. If you stay in Lima, there are plenty of beaches near the city 15min away from Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro. If you want to explore a little more, you can go 30minutes or 1hr30 away and find some more waves.

There's always a beach were you can surf.

If you are looking for a surf trip I recommend you go to Piura, where the best waves can be found, there's going to be a Surf Competition over there in these days, so it might get crowded
