Atenas

Atenas is a sheltered bay located on Peru's central coast near a significant industrial and port complex. The spot features a lagoon system with shallow water areas separated from the open ocean by natural barriers and human-made infrastructure. The bay orientation (facing northeast) provides some wind protection but limits fetch distance. Water conditions are generally calm with small wave heights averaging 1.02m. The spot is primarily suitable for beginners due to flat, protected conditions and minimal swell exposure. However, the location presents logistical challenges including industrial port activity, restricted access areas, and very low wind reliability (0.3%). Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. Water temperatures around 20°C are moderate year-round. This spot is best suited for light-wind progression and training rather than advanced riding, with significant operational constraints due to proximity to active maritime and industrial facilities.
