The surf break
Huanchaco is one of Peru’s most famous surf destinations, known for its consistent waves, world-class surf, and strong surf culture.
Officially recognized as a World Surfing Reserve, Huanchaco offers reliable surf conditions year-round.
The main surf break in Huanchaco features a long, clean left-hand wave, working best on south and southwest swells. Thanks to the coastline’s orientation, Huanchaco rarely goes flat, making it ideal for surf trips in any season.
With multiple surf breaks along Huanchaco Beach, the area suits all levels — from beginners learning to surf to experienced surfers enjoying long, peeling walls.
Whether you’re longboarding or improving your skills, surfing in Huanchaco, Peru delivers fun, consistent waves in a classic surf town.
Designed for surfers who want more than just lessons, here you become part of the local surf community. From your first wave to long rides, we guide you in and out of the water - and into real Huanchaco life.
