About This Spot
Nonura is a beach break located on Peru's northern coast, featuring a northwest-facing shoreline with moderate wave exposure to the open ocean. The spot comprises a sandy beach with scattered rocky debris and boulders, typical of this region's geological character. Water conditions show consistent but modest wave heights averaging 1.44m, suitable for developing skills. Wind reliability is notably low at 10%, suggesting seasonal inconsistency; average wind speeds of 8.9 knots indicate marginal but workable conditions during active wind periods. The northeast wind direction would provide reliable side-shore conditions for safe launching and sustained riding. The shallow water near shore and rocky features require careful navigation during entry and exit. This spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking mellow conditions and smaller waves. Success depends heavily on timing visits with favorable wind windows, as reliability is limited. Local knowledge regarding seasonal patterns and current behavior would be valuable before visiting.
