Máncora, in the far north near the Ecuadorian border, has warm water and consistent waves that attract a younger, more international crowd — surf camps, backpackers, and travelers drawn to the combination of good waves and an easy pace of life. Lima's Miraflores district has a well-established urban surf scene, with committed locals who paddle out in cold water and morning fog with serious regularity. Peru's surf community on SurfersMatch reflects that seriousness and passion.
