Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind days (avg 6.3 kts), with a 12m as backup for stronger days. A directional or wide board handles chop better than a twintip in these conditions.

Clothing · Water temperature is cool year-round (16-18°C); wear a 3-4mm wetsuit even during peak season months. Consider a hood for extended sessions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and small boat traffic common in Peruvian coastal areas. Share the space respectfully with other water users and follow any local regulations.

Additional notes

Peak wind season (May-November) offers best conditions with 34+ windy days yearly. Plan trips around consistent S-SW winds and bring extra patience for light wind days.
