Puemape

Puemape is a beach break located on Peru's northern coast, facing westward into the Pacific Ocean. The spot features a developed shoreline with residential structures and what appears to be a small harbor or breakwater system. The sandy beach transitions to rocky areas, creating a mixed-terrain launching environment. Average wave heights of 1.47m indicate modest swell conditions typical of this region. Wind reliability is notably low at 6.8%, with average winds of 9.5 knots, suggesting this spot works best during seasonal wind windows rather than year-round. Best conditions occur with northerly (0°) winds providing side-shore conditions along the westward-facing beach. The water type is classified as rough, likely due to variable coastal currents and the influence of structures. This spot suits intermediate kiters who can handle variable wind conditions and navigate around coastal infrastructure. The low wind consistency means planning sessions around weather forecasts is essential. The shallow nearshore water and rocky sections require careful positioning during launch and landing.
