Located in Costa Verde, Peru, Barranquito is a fun little jetty left with a complimentary right-hander, both are rippable and fun for all levels. The waves here are easy to surf and break for up to 100 meters (about 328 feet) over a boulder and sand bottom. Both are usually smaller than the breaks to the North.
What are the best surf conditions for Barranquito?
Barranquito gets good between waist-high and double overhead. We recommend riding a longboard when smaller and a shortboard as the size picks up. This break is suitable for all levels of surfer. The surf here is somewhat consistent (6/10) and will always have a crew (7/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the Northwest, South, Southwest, and West. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini in the summer when water temperatures rise to 22°C (about 72°F). In the winter, a 3/2 wetsuit is best when water temperatures drop to 16°C (about 61°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
