About this spot

About

Milagro (Rázuri) is a low-profile kitesurfing spot on Peru’s north coast characterized by a big sandy beach, generally clean water, and small-to-medium wave conditions. The setup is focused on south (S) flow, with many sessions happening during the warmer season when coastal thermal effects strengthen the breeze. Wind is most consistently south to south-southeast, with thermal reinforcement typically building into the afternoon and peaking mid-afternoon (one source reports activity from about 1:00 PM to sunset). Best months align with January and September through December, and winds are described as steady/high during the windy season. Kite sessions often work well when nearby options are too light, with one tip noting Milagro can be several knots stronger than Chicama when conditions there are weak. The main safety concern is the shoreline: stones and submerged rocks are present, particularly near certain sections, so launching and entering/exiting the water require extra care. The beach can also feel remote/isolated, so it’s recommended not to go alone. Cold water influenced by the Humboldt Current is expected year-round, so cold-water kit choices matter. Overall, Milagro fits intermediate to advanced riders who want a wide sandy launch and the option for wave riding, with a preference for the afternoon wind window in the peak months. Facilities and dedicated rentals weren’t documented specifically at the beach, so riders should plan gear and support accordingly before arriving.
