Tres Cruces

Tres Cruces is a coastal beach break located on Peru's Pacific shoreline, featuring a northwest-facing sandy beach with modest wave conditions. The spot lies in a semi-arid coastal zone with sparse vegetation and limited terrestrial features. The beach exhibits shallow water near the shore with gradual depth progression, typical of Peru's Pacific coast dynamics. Wind reliability here is relatively low at 32.5%, suggesting inconsistent conditions that require strategic timing. The average wind speed of 10.7 knots combined with small average waves (1.36m) indicates this is primarily a beginner-friendly location suited for progression and skill development. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (approximately 45°), which provide proper side-shore alignment parallel to the beach. The water temperature averaging 22.7°C is comfortable year-round. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas near the beach break and potential currents indicated by water color variations. This spot is suitable for beginners seeking consistent, manageable conditions with minimal wave intensity, though frequent wind checks are necessary due to low reliability statistics.
