K 108 (Lima Coast)

K 108 (Km 108, in the Asia district south of Lima) is described as a low-profile, fairly exposed beach break with fairly consistent surf and a best swell direction from the south. Providers note that it can offer both left and right-hand waves, and it is commonly framed as a quieter alternative to more popular options closer to the city. For surfing, the spot is most often characterized as reliable for a range of intermediate sessions, with an optimal south swell window cited around 1.0–2.5 meters and a wave shape described as peeling. Wave quality is reported as average overall, and on good days rides are described as roughly 50–100 meters, though large swells may force the break to close out and make paddling out more difficult. Wind can strongly affect ride quality: the area is exposed to prevailing southerly winds, which may increase chop. Sessions are noted to be cleanest in the morning, before afternoon wind development associated with the local thermal/sea-breeze pattern. The spot is also described as rarely crowded overall, with the caveat that weekend crowds from Lima may increase during parts of the year. Safety-wise, conditions can include currents and rip currents, and the water is cold year-round due to the Humboldt Current. A wetsuit plus a leash are specifically recommended, and because provider data indicates no formal rescue/lifeguards, swimmers and paddlers should plan with that in mind—particularly when swell sizes rise and rip current risk increases.
