About Máncora
Máncora is a town on the northern coast of Peru, in the Piura region, in an area known for warm, dry weather through the year. Its wave breaks along a point and runs to the left as a surfer rides it towards the shore, and it is often described as long and easy going rather than powerful, which is part of why the town became popular with travelling surfers. The sea here is warmer than along the rest of the Peruvian coast, because the cold current that runs north along the country turns away offshore. Surf arrives through much of the year, and the most consistent conditions usually come in the southern summer, typically from around November to March. The town is lined with hostels, restaurants and surf shops, and calmer beaches nearby are widely used for lessons.
