Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wave is La Rosa Nautica?

La Rosa Nautica is a beach break in Miraflores, Lima, Peru, with peaks that run both left and right.

What swell works best at La Rosa Nautica?

La Rosa Nautica picks up swell from the SSW round to the WSW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SW. It starts working at around 0.9m and handles up to about 1.8m, with the sweet spot around 1.3 to 1.6m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

What wind is offshore at La Rosa Nautica?

An ESE wind is dead offshore at La Rosa Nautica, and anything from the E round to the SE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to 11am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

La Rosa Nautica is at its best around the mid to high tide, roughly 0.4m to 1.5m on the local chart.
