Surfing in Peru

Surfing in Peru includes Máncora, the largest left-hand point break in the world, located on the northern coast. A less crowded wave in Máncora is the so-called Punta Ballenas which is located south of the main stretch of the beach.[1] The longest left-handed wave in the world is to be found at Puerto Chicama, which is over 4 km.[2][3][4]

Competitions

Peru is host to several international surf competitions, including The Peru International Surfing Championship, The World Surfing Championship (1965), and The Peru National Surf Circuit.
