Punta Negra in Piura is an exposed beach break that only works when conditions are just right with no particular seasonal pattern. Offshore winds are from the east southeast. Tends to receive distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the northwest. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Relatively few surfers here, even on good days. Dangerous rips are a hazard of surfing here.
