Located in Piura, Peru, Cabo Blanquillo is a fun left-hand reef break that offers up some rippable waves when the sand is in place. The waves here are not easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a rock and sand bottom. Won’t be as crowded as Cabo Blanco.
What are the best surf conditions for Cabo Blanquillo?
Cabo Blanquillo gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if smaller and a shortboard and then stepping up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here usually has something to ride (5/10) and will get busy at peak times (5/10). The best winds are from the southeast. The best swells are from the north, northwest, and west. Cabo Blanquillo 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.
