Located in Piura, Peru, Baterias is a fun left-hand point that offers some barreling and powerful waves off of an exposed headland. The waves here are challenging to surf and break for up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a rock and sand bottom. There is also some beach break that tends to be too fast for most to keep up with.
What are the best surf conditions for Baterias?
Baterias gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if small and a shortboard and then stepping up if the waves are on. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is consistent (7/10) and will get busy at peak times (5/10). The best winds are from the southeast. The best swells are from the south, southwest, and west. Baterias works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini in the summer when water temperatures rise to 23°C (73°F). In the winter, a 3/2 wetsuit is best when water temperatures drop to 18°C (64°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
