About This Spot
La Chancha is a beach break located on Peru's Pacific coast near an industrial coastal zone. The shoreline faces northwest toward open ocean, with a narrow sandy beach backed by industrial facilities and infrastructure. The spot experiences very small average waves (1.5m) and extremely low wind reliability at just 0.3%, making consistent sessions difficult. Average wind speed of 6.4 knots is marginal for kitesurfing. The northeast wind direction (45°) would provide side-shore conditions relative to the northwest-facing coast. This location is best suited for absolute beginners seeking flat-water progression in minimal wind, though the industrial setting and rough water conditions present ongoing challenges. The presence of nearby structures and commercial activity requires awareness of hazards and timing sessions carefully. Practitioners should verify local regulations regarding the industrial zone before accessing the beach.
