Puerto Morin

Puerto Morin is a surf spot located in Central Peru, Peru, about 45 km south of Trujillo in the La Libertad Region. The spot is known for its long left point break, with rides that can reach over 1.5 km when the swell is solid and all sections link up. The surf spot provides left waves. The bottom is a mix of sand and rocks, and the wave quality is considered world class. The spot works best with a solid south-southwest swell and is surfable at all stages of the tide. Offshore winds usually come from the east-southeast, which helps the wave quality. The length of the ride is typically between 150 and 300 meters, but can be longer in the right conditions. The spot is not crowded, as most surfers head to more popular places like Mancora, Pascomayo, and Chicama. Access to the surf is through the township of Puerto Morin, with a short walk of about 5 to 15 minutes to the northern tip of the headland. Hazards include rips, undertow, and rocks, so always check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The best time to surf here is from April to October, when swells and wind patterns are most consistent. The area is also suitable for kitesurfing, especially near Cerro Negro. Nearby surf spots include Las Delicias, Huanchaco, El Hombre, Chicama, and Vesique. For the latest surf forecast, report, map, and webcam, check online resources before heading out.
