Nonura

Nonura is a very consistent left-breaking point/reef-style wave spot on the Sechura coast (Piura area). Surf is described as powerful and fast with a peeling shape, and rides are commonly reported in the 150–300 m range, with longer runs on better days. Working swell is reported starting around 1.0–1.5 m and holding up to about 2.5 m (and in practice can maintain shape on bigger sets). The spot is exposed, and sources highlight offshore wind (when winds favor the ESE direction) as ideal for surf cleanliness. Wind for kitesurfing is also described as reliable, with best months from June through November and best wind directions spanning S, SSW, and SW. One kitesurfing-oriented description frames the spot as suitable for freeride in small to medium waves, with the strongest seasonal window aligning to summer months (June–November). Winds are described as thermally driven and can build later in the day, so early planning matters for keeping surf conditions clean. Safety is a major theme: multiple sources warn about rip currents and reef/rock hazards, and at the same time the location is described as extremely remote with little to no emergency support at the spot. Riders are advised to be fully self-sufficient (including water, fuel, and medical supplies) and to travel with a supported plan (including at least two vehicles) to reduce the risk of being stranded in sand tracks. Access is restricted: sources consistently state that reaching Nonura requires a 4x4 route from the km 886 area of the North Panamericana Highway toward Bayovar Terminal and then down toward the coast. Amenities on-site are not reported, and conditions are described as clean water but cold water influenced by the Humboldt Current—so appropriate thermal gear (wetsuit) should be expected year-round.
