The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, let’s look at what’s shaping up for Pavos over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty quiet start with nothing really on offer for the first few days. The surf is hanging around, but the conditions are just off – a bit of a cross-on breeze and the water's choppy, making it hard to get excited about. The water is 71°, which is a solid 8° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a bit of a bonus if you’re just keen for a paddle.
Things start to look a little more interesting heading into the end of the first week, but it’s not until Saturday the 25th that we get a true standout. That morning, the wind drops out to glassy, with a 5ft SSW swell rolling in at a nice 12-second period. That’s a seriously good window of clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is strong at 1125, so there’s plenty of push. This is the pick of the whole forecast – a proper session if you’re experienced.
The following week remains pretty marginal overall. The 30th of July has a bit of a pulse with a 6ft SSW swell and a 14-second period, but the wind is still cross-on, so it’s not the same quality as that Saturday. The energy is high at 1307, but the conditions are just holding it back.
For a beginner, most of this run is manageable in size, but the cross-on wind makes it tricky. Pavos is a very consistent spot, and it’s exposed to the SW, which is exactly what’s coming through. Crowds are possible here, so keep an eye out on the better days.
Honestly, aim for that Saturday 25th morning session. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.

Information about the Pavos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pavos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pavos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pavos surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Pavos) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Pavos may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Pavos is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Lima. If you plan a holiday in Lima, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lima. Lima has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
