Located in Piura, Peru, Punta Lobo is a fun left-hand point break that offers up some rippable walls when the conditions line up. The waves here can be challenging, and the current is brutal at size, breaking for up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a rock bottom.
What are the best surf conditions for Punta Lobo?

This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and will generally be uncrowded (4/10). The best winds are from the east. The best swells are from the northwest, southwest, and west. Punta Lobo works on all tides.
