Punta Aguja in Piura is an exposed reef break that has fairly consistent surf. Winter is the favoured time of year for surfing here. Works best in offshore winds from the east southeast. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. There are left and right breaking reefs. The quality of the surf isn't affected by the tide. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Watch out for rips and rocks.
