Hi people, some news from Lobitos !
The 20 hours+ of bus brought us to the fishing town of Talara. After a 30 minutes ride in a dodgy combi where we almost lost the boards that were on the roof, we arrived in the small pueblo of Lobitos right in the middle of the desert, safe and sound although “sligthtly” exhausted.
This place is close to a natural wonder for surfers. A wide “croissant”-shaped bay bounded by 2 rocky headlands that has a perfect orientation for southerly swells that consistently hit Peru. The place used to be a military base and so not open to public until 2000, then massive rainfalls due to the 2005 El Nino filled the bay with sand. Add few years of south swell to shape all that sand and you end up with an amazing wave machine !!
Locals say to make the most of it because that place might not last forever, so this is what we are doing…..testing the limits of how much surfing our bodys can take… and I think we are getting close to the limits now !!
PS: Side notes for our friends kitesurfers and windsurfers, by noon the cross-offshore wind picks up to 15-20 knots !!!
We are going south on Thursday and the next update will be from Chicama/Pacasmayo !!
