Lobitos surf spot

Lobitos is a small fishing village on Peru's northern coast that punches far above its weight in the surf world. Its flagship break, La Punta, is a long, peeling left-hand point break that can produce rides of up to 200 meters — and it works with remarkable consistency nearly year-round. Set against a backdrop of arid Piura-region landscape meeting the Pacific, Lobitos offers a rare combination of world-class waves, a chilled village atmosphere, and far fewer crowds than Peru's more famous surf destinations.
