Conchan has three spots - all situated under the obvious industrial jetty. On the south side ther is the biggest and best wave, which breaks both left (away from the pier), and right. To the north of the Pier the wave also froms a peak - going left and right. A little further north there is another right. Only the wave on the south side holds the bigger swell (up to 8ft). The others close out below thid size.

Although this is a fast hollow wave, the take-off is less critical than at Explosivos - here you are unlikely to get a face full of sand when you bite it!

One of the best quality beach breaks in the area. However due to proximity to Lima it can get crowded when it is working well, especially with body-boarders.

Conchan
By TC , 18-10-2003
conchan - This is one of the reasons why Lima is one of the greatest places on earth for surfing. You can surf 3ft waves at this and nearby spots when the whole Peruvian coast is dead flat. This doesn´t mean that Conchan is a great wave, but it can have very classic days specially when a decreasing swell has formed good shaped sandbars. The sandbars at this stretch of coast (between Villa and Arica) unwind very fast though.
