Las Delicias (Moche)

Las Delicias (Moche) is a sandy beach-break on the Moche Coast near Trujillo, featuring both left and right waves and a generally good surfable quality. The break is described as regular and dependable for sessions, with working conditions starting at less than 1 meter of swell and holding up to around 2 meters (and beyond, depending on the day). Conditions are typically described as ordinary to moderate in power, which tends to make it approachable and not overly punishing—while still being engaging because the bottom is sandy but can include rocks in parts of the lineup. The spot is reported to work on all tides, including both rising and falling tide states, and it can produce normal rides in the roughly 50 to 150 meter range on better days (with some days running shorter). Wind is most active during the warmer season window (roughly October through March), with prevailing south-easterlies often reinforced by afternoon sea-breeze conditions. Typical wind strength is described as about 10–20 knots, with light gustiness. For surfing, South/Southeast winds are usually cross-shore or side-onshore, and mornings can be glassier. Safety-wise, be alert for rocks and rip currents. There is seasonal lifeguard presence, and rescue availability is not presented as dedicated rescue coverage. Practical guidance is to check tide charts (the spot often performs well on a rising tide) and to pay extra attention to the sections where rocks are more likely to appear.
