Surf La Herradura

La Herradura - Lima, Peru La Herradura is a left-point break featuring a sandy bottom with rocky sections. This spot requires a significant swell from the west or southwest to work effectively, holding waves that can reach up to 150 meters in length. It operates at all tides, but the take-off can be steep and fast, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. Nestled in a horseshoe bay in the Chorrillos district, La Herradura offers a unique atmosphere with its striking brown cliffs, providing a brief escape from Lima's urban hustle. Access is straightforward, with instant entry available after a short walk from parking. However, be prepared for crowded conditions, especially on weekends, as this spot attracts many surfers seeking quality waves. The local crowd can be competitive, particularly during the winter months when the swell is at its best, making it essential to time your sessions wisely for optimal conditions.
