Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Lobitos is a rocky point break on Peru's northern Pacific coast, characterized by a northwest-facing shoreline with consistent wave exposure. The spot combines beach and reef elements, with a notable rocky point that creates the visible white water and ground swell interactions. Wind reliability is modest at 35.9%, with average winds of 10.9 knots and moderate wave heights around 1.36m. The narrow beach access and rocky infrastructure suggest this spot works best during specific swell directions and wind conditions. Northeast winds (45°) provide ideal side-shore conditions for safe kiting along the beach. The presence of reef and rocky structures demands intermediate-level skills for hazard avoidance. Water temperatures averaging 23.6°C are manageable year-round. Best sessions occur when offshore/northeasterly winds align with swell direction. Kiters should scout conditions carefully due to the technical nature of the launch zone and respect local fishing operations visible in the satellite imagery.
