Triangulo

Triángulo, Lima, Peru is a well-known surf spot on Lima’s coast, offering a classic Pacific point/reef-style wave depending on the exact swell and sand conditions. It’s part of the broader Lima surf scene, which is famous for cold water, consistent winter swells, and long, rideable waves.

What to expect

• Wave type: Typically a left-hand point break or organized reef/sand-bottom wave, with long lines when conditions line up.
• Best swell: Works best with south to southwest swell.
• Best wind: Usually light offshore easterly winds or calm early-morning conditions.
• Tide: Often changes a lot with tide, so timing matters.
• Water: Cold Pacific water year-round, so a wetsuit is usually needed.

Skill level

Triángulo can range from intermediate to advanced, especially when the swell is bigger or the takeoff is sectiony. On smaller days it can be more manageable for confident intermediates.

What it’s like

• Can offer fast, clean walls and some longer rides when the swell is consistent.
• Crowd levels can vary, but near Lima, popular spots often get busy on good days.
• Local knowledge helps a lot because bathymetry and tides can change the quality of the wave.

Nearby surf context
