About this Spot

Ala Moana is a surf spot located in Lima, Peru, in the La Costa Verde area to the right of Triangulo. The spot is known for its left waves and is suitable for all levels of surfers. The bottom is mainly sand, but there are rocks in the area, so pay attention when entering and exiting the water. The wave length is usually less than 50 meters and the spot sometimes breaks, with the best conditions often found during winter swells. You can park your car on the sand at Triangulo, also called Playa Dulce, and then paddle out to the right of Triangulo to reach the wave if it is breaking. The spot is usually empty, but it can get crowded at times, so always respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when the spot is busy. The surf spot provides left waves. The quality is considered a regional classic and sometimes you can find good tubes when the swell is right. The spot is close to other surf spots like Triangulo, Regatas, Barranquito, Caplina, and La Herradura. The area can have natural hazards like rocks and sometimes pollution, so be aware of the conditions before paddling out. There may also be man-made obstacles like buoys.
