Additional Information
This is a useful spot as it works on all tides and with small swell. However care is needed at low tide as it is a shore-break on rocks.
Nothing too serious but not for everyone. Usually left, but sometimes get a short right working.
Atmosphere
Along with Arica and Explosivos, El Huayco is usually surfed when the point breaks are not working due to lack of swell.
General
A fun wave, not as consistently good as other spots in the area - but on its day can produce great waves (see photos!)

HUAYCO 3 STARS - This wave is one of the best in the south of Lima, there are always waves there, with small a medium swell. Sometimes is perfect and tubular, this wave have 3 stars and sometimes 4. El huayco es una ola de la PUTA MADRE Y RECONTRA FIEL CARAJO.
