Negritos

Negritos is a beach break located on Peru's northern coast, characterized by a northwest-facing shoreline with a broad sandy beach adjacent to arid desert terrain. The spot features a shallow lagoon system to the south with visible dark rock formations and sandbars that create variable water conditions. Urban development inland indicates moderate local usage. The spot's main appeal is accessibility from nearby settlements and relatively protected conditions from the lagoon formations. However, persistent low wind (averaging 10.8 knots with only 33.9% reliability) and modest wave heights (1.39m average) limit its utility for serious kitesurfing. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing side-shore coverage. This spot suits beginners seeking sheltered, manageable conditions and minimal waves. The lagoon offers flat-water practice areas when offshore wind dominates. Kiters should monitor tidal variations affecting water depth and be aware of shallow areas and rock hazards. The low wind reliability makes this a secondary option; consistent wind spots would be preferable for regular sessions.
