Located in Piura, Peru, Negritos is a fun left-hand point break that offers up some punchy, rippable but at times sectiony waves. The waves here are pretty easy to surf and break for up to 200 meters (656 feet) over a rock bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Negritos?
Negritos gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard if smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfers. The surf here usually has something to ride (5/10) and will generally be uncrowded (3/10). The best winds are from the east. The best swells are from the northwest, southwest, and west. Negritos works best on a low to mid tide.
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.
