About This Spot
Milagro is an exposed Pacific beach break located on Peru's southwestern coast, facing westward into the open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach fronting rocky, arid terrain with sparse vegetation and scattered boulders in the nearshore environment. Wave exposure is consistent due to direct ocean fetch, with average wave heights around 1.5m, though conditions can vary significantly. Wind reliability is notably low at 2.2%, making consistent sessions challenging. The best wind direction is north (0°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. Water temperatures average 20.6°C, typical for Peru's Humboldt Current region. The spot suits intermediate kiters who can manage rocky terrain and occasional strong currents. Entry and exit require careful navigation around boulder fields. Conditions are most predictable during austral winter months when Pacific swells are more consistent. Limited infrastructure and remote location mean preparation and self-sufficiency are essential.
