About This Spot
San Maloy is a beach break located on Peru's southern coast facing northwest toward the Pacific Ocean. The spot features agricultural development inland with irrigation fields visible, and a major highway running parallel to the coast. The coastline orientation toward northwest (315°) means side-shore winds come from northeast (45°) or southwest (225°). However, this location presents significant challenges: prevailing wind reliability is essentially zero, and average wave heights of 1.72m indicate minimal swell consistency. Water conditions are classified as rough, suggesting choppy surfaces from wind chop rather than organized swell. The spot appears more suited to light-wind enthusiasts or those seeking practice in marginal conditions rather than dedicated kitesurfing progression. Access appears straightforward via the coastal highway. Best conditions would require northeast winds combined with distant swell generation. This location suits only beginner-level kiters seeking minimal-wind opportunities, though the consistently poor statistics suggest unreliable sessions year-round.
Hazards & Safety
Low wind reliability (0.0%) - spot may be unsuitable for kitesurfing
Very small average wave height (1.72m) - limited wave energy
Rough water conditions - potentially choppy despite small waves
Shallow areas visible near shore
Pan-American Highway proximity - potential distraction/hazard on land
Agricultural runoff from irrigated fields inland
