Cabo Blanco Surf Guide
This heavy, radical, fast lefthand barrel is the crown jewel of northernmost Peru; it doesn't break often, but when it does, everyone comes here. It breaks in very shallow water dangerously close to the rocks along the shore; Cabo Blanco is often referred to as the Peruvian Pipeline.
