South
Peru
The peruvian south coast presents in general cold water temperatures and good consistency of waves along the year. The area is desertic with no rain (never!) and some fog and maybe drizzly during winter. The access to most beaches are easy but there are not big cities on the coast (so, little or not contamination), but on the other and it means few services (hotels) in some not well konwn areas.
Seasonal swell & wind variations:
The swell is allways coming from the south. In the summer season the swell comes from the north-west and in winter from the south-west
