About this Spot

Las Orishas is a surf spot located in Lima, Peru. The spot features a coral reef bottom with sharp rocks, especially visible at low tide when the water depth can be around 50 cm. Surfing here is possible at medium and high tide, and the spot is suitable for all levels, but beginners should be careful at low tide due to the rocks and urchins. The surf spot provides both left and right waves. The length of the ride is usually less than 50 meters. The frequency of surfable waves is regular, and the spot is generally not crowded, though more surfers may be present during weekends or surf events. Access to Las Orishas is convenient by car, and the spot is close to other well-known surf spots like La Pampilla, Punta Roquitas, Waikiki, Makaha, and Redondo. Pollution can be present in the water, so it is important to be aware of local conditions. When the tide is low, the wave breaks in front of many sharp rocks, making it a bit dangerous for less experienced surfers. Always check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. Respect the locals, especially when the spot is crowded, and always follow the surf etiquette. For the latest surf forecast, report, map, and webcam updates, check reliable sources before heading out.
