Pavos surf guide

Pavos is located south of Miraflores, near the Barranco district, and features a sandy beach that's mostly a beachbreak. It's a spot that requires larger swells from the south or southwest to really get going, but it can also work on northwest swells. The beach here is quite attractive for a nice day out, but as for the surf, it tends to be more suited for expert surfers looking for challenging conditions.

The surf at Pavos can handle swell sizes starting from around 1ft (0.3m) and really benefits from southwest swell direction, although it also picks up south and northwest swells. You can expect both left and right breaking waves on this beach, which can be fun for those who know what they are doing. The wind tends to be best from the northeast, and whether it's low, mid, or high tide, you'll find decent surf at various tide heights. Keep in mind that the beachbreak is often more appealing for bodyboarders due to its shoredump launchpads.

For those hitting this beach, it’s good to know that the waves typically break over sand. While it’s a nice spot to watch the action, you’ll want to be an expert to fully enjoy what Pavos has to offer. If you're up for the challenge, it can be worth the trip.
