About this Spot

The spot sits near kilometer 223 of the North Panamericana highway, with access via a 3 km detour through the beach, suitable for all types of vehicles including 4x4s. The surf spot features a mix of rocks and sand on the bottom, and the wave is known to be fast and powerful, with a challenging drop especially when the swell is big. The length of the ride ranges from 50 to 150 meters. The best conditions for surfing at Bermejo are during low and medium tides. The spot is considered a regional classic and is generally empty, so you can often surf without a crowd. However, always respect the locals and check the surf etiquette, especially if the spot gets busy. The surf spot provides left waves. The wave can have strong currents and there are submerged reefs that may not be visible at high tide, so caution is needed. The spot is suitable for all levels, but it is important to check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level. The water temperature averages around 18°C, so a wetsuit is recommended. The best swells come from the south-southwest, with favorable winds from the northeast, and the best season is autumn. There are nearby surf spots such as Centinela, Paraiso, and Playa Grande. For those looking for a surf forecast, report, map, or webcam, it is recommended to check online resources before heading out. Access is possible from the Comandante FAP Germán Arias Graziani Airport in Huaraz, followed by a coastal drive. Always be careful with the reefs and check the surf conditions before entering the water.
