Pepinos

Pepinos is a beach break located on Peru's Pacific coast, facing westward toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with rocky formations scattered along the shoreline and visible nearshore reef structures. The area displays agricultural land immediately inland with a highway running parallel to the coast, providing road access. Conditions here are marginal for kitesurfing: average wind speeds of only 4.4 knots with extremely poor reliability at 0.1% makes this spot unsuitable for regular kitesurfing sessions. Average wave heights of 1.46 meters are minimal. Water temperatures average 20.5°C, and the rough water conditions suggest strong currents and challenging entry/exit points. Best wind direction would be from the north (side-shore), but given the extreme wind unreliability, consistent sessions are unlikely. The combination of low wind, small waves, and coastal obstacles makes this location better suited for other water sports or beachside activities rather than kitesurfing. Kiters seeking this region should explore alternative spots with better wind exposure and fetch.
