Puerto Eten is a surf spot located in northern Peru, known for its relaxed vibe and decent waves. The area features a long, worn-down pier and offers a mix of beach and reef breaks. It's a popular choice for surfers looking for a less crowded scene. The surroundings are pretty straightforward, with a coastal landscape that doesn’t distract from the surfing experience.

The waves here can be hit or miss but generally work best with SouthWest swells. A good day can see waves breaking over uneven reef and sand, with sizes that handle around 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). The left point below the lighthouse, Punta La Farola, is a highlight, particularly when the swells wrap around the rocks. For a right-hand option, you might find some fun waves back toward the pier during summer swells. The best times to catch the waves are during low to mid tide, and the ideal wind direction is from the NorthEast. This spot suits intermediate surfers looking to challenge themselves without overwhelming crowds.

Crowd levels are generally reasonable, making it a good choice for surfers who want to practice or enjoy a session without too many people around. The area is consistent enough that you can find fun waves even if conditions aren't perfect, allowing for a solid surf day now and then.
