surfing in Peru
  Peru has some of the longest waves on the planet (counted in miles...). It doesn't rain in Peru and it's not too hot or too cold. All S-SW spots have very reliable swell from April to October.
Plus: all levels of surf available, mostly uncrowded (hum... this can mean quasi-desert), long waves.
Minus: often foggy, low water temperatures, problems of access and safety, crowds around Lima.nuevo sol (PEN)

Hi,
I am looking to head to the coast between Chiclayo/Trujillo area for surf starting sometime around June 27th - July 10th or so. Looking for other longboarders who want to do a trip together. I am an intermediate longboarder, female.
