Crowds
Top spots are usually crowded, even though early morning sessions can be as perfect as uncrowded. We will guide you to the less crowded spots. It is pretty much possible we get to surf solo sessions.

Locals
Locals are usually friendly, just show respect.

Breaks
The Lima area is full of solid waves, shore breaks, beach breaks, sandbars, rocky bottoms, point breaks, short waves, long waves, barrels…every type of wave you can imagine. Lima is a blessed place where you find solid surf every day. The Little North offers like most of Peru more perfect lefts, point breaks and reef breaks peel endlessly from knee size to double plus overhead. Solid stuff all around. The North is Peru's surfing gem. Breaks that gift us lefts of perfection from south or north swells. Be prepare for an intense solid, fast, peeling lefts experience.

Equipment
We recommend you to check the list of beaches and descriptions and decide your quiver accordingly. Unless you plan on charging Pico Alto, nothing bigger than an 8 footer is needed.

Wetsuits: during spring and fall, short sleeves are fine, although a long sleeves will work for the early or late sessions. During winter time a 3/2mm rubber is OK. Booties are a great help to keep feet warm and protect them from rocks and shelves. Water temperature is not as cold as northern California but cold enough.
