San Antonio (Regatas), Lima, Peru is a beachbreak surf spot on the Lima coastline, known for being a fairly exposed wave with decent consistency when swell lines up. It’s a spot that can offer fun, rippable waves, especially for intermediate surfers, though conditions can change quickly with wind and tide.
What it’s like
- Wave type: Mostly beachbreak
- Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers, depending on swell and size
- Typical wave shape: Can be peaky and playful, with sections that allow for turns rather than long point-style rides
- Crowds: Can get busy, especially when conditions are good and local surfers are out
Conditions
- Swell: Works best with solid Pacific swell
- Wind: Offshore/cleaner conditions are usually in the morning before sea breeze picks up
- Tide: Tides can affect how punchy or soft the wave feels; mid to lower tides are often preferable for more defined peaks
- Consistency: Reasonably consistent for the Lima coast, but quality depends heavily on seasonal swell and wind
Hazards / considerations
- Beachbreaks can have shifting sandbars, so the wave can change from session to session.
- Strong currents and shorebreak can appear when it’s bigger.
- Like many Lima spots, water quality can vary after rain or runoff.
