Waikiki

Waikiki is a heavily developed urban beach break on Peru's central coast facing northwest toward the Pacific Ocean. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense residential development and bordered by rocky cliffs to the south. Infrastructure including piers and breakwaters are visible, indicating significant human modification of the coastline. The site shows moderate wave activity with visible white water patterns suggesting consistent ground swell. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds (45-90°) which provide reliable side-shore access. The extremely low wind reliability (0.5%) indicates this is primarily a wave-dependent spot rather than wind-driven. Shallow water near shore and visible currents make this suitable for intermediate kiters with local knowledge. The urban setting means hazards include pier structures, potential pollution from runoff, and periodic boat traffic. Wave heights average 1.73m, making conditions manageable but requiring awareness of local currents and structural obstacles.
