Cabo Blanquillo in Piura is an exposed beach break that has reasonably consistent surf. Spring and Summer provide the best conditions. The best wind direction is from the east southeast. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northwest. The beach breaks are all lefts. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Rocks are a hazard.
