Supay

Supay is a beach break located on Peru's Pacific coast, featuring a northwest-facing shoreline with direct ocean exposure. The spot is characterized by sandy beaches bordered by desert terrain, with visible rocky formations and reef structures along the break line. Wave heights average 1.63m, indicating modest swell energy typical of this latitude. The most viable wind direction for kitesurfing is from the northeast (45°), providing side-shore conditions relative to the beach orientation. However, wind reliability is critically low at 3.3%, meaning consistent thermal or trade wind patterns are rare at this location. Water temperatures average 19.9°C, requiring a wetsuit. The spot suits beginner-level kiters during rare wind windows, though challenging conditions and limited predictability demand local knowledge. Hazards include rocky areas visible in the nearshore zone and potential strong alongshore currents. Sessions require scouting for rocks and understanding tide-dependent bathymetry. Best visited during known wind event windows rather than as a regular destination.
