- Localism
Drop in straight to the left hand barrel and wait to be spit out, set up for the second tube section and repeat.
Kamikazee takes the right onto the reef, great barrel very shallow.
Don't drop into the locals, especially the bald guy !
Atmosphere
If you charge, don't talk and don't drop in anybody, you will be accepted, but if you don't respect don't ask any in return.

Not 5* - Ye, its a nice short wave, good barrel sections but not 5*. Worth the mission and a nice place to hang out for some time . Lobitos a bit further south is far better though .

pretty inconsistent - I was in Organos for 2 weeks in March.Weather beautiful, water ok with a shorty BUT very very small waves and even flat for 5 days in a row... We were very disapointed since nothing else to do around there. Northern Peru does not take swell as good as Central or Southern Peru.Camping is NOT a good idea : a lot of theft in this area (even more in Mancora)
