Lima, Peru

Makaha (Miraflores)

Intermediate Beach break Sand bottom Peels both 0.7–3 m Any tide

Lima's classic city break below the Miraflores cliffs: a shifting sandbar that produces fast, racy rights and lefts with the Malecón overhead. Consistent, crowded at peak and backed by a proper urban surf culture (the Clube Waikiki is at the top of the stairs).
