you need to surf this spot if there are not so many waves in Lima, because otherwise you would be looking at waves of aproximatly four meters, and very dangerous. Surf this spot with low wind, you could park your car any were near the beach.This spot is very dangerous if you don´t know well the sea. When it is small, you can surf, but when it is big, it grows like 5 metres and it is a beach break, so it is very dangerous.The wave works every day of the year, the problem is that it is pretty much a close out and it's out there for the brave. To get in you get probably between 10 and 20 waves on the head. on top of that you only get one wave because you will be so exhausted after this you will just want to leave, you will get out of the water with two boards instead of one, and your head aching like hell, this will be on a big swell that can reach more than 15 feet and 2 to 3 feet lips, on a small day it still be very powerful, but you can take it, there's is also much more shape to the wave. Have fun.
This is mostly a right, although as with all beach breaks it can break the other way if the swell is orientated differently. A short fun wave, which gets hollow when small due to the shallowness of the baech
This is a beach-break straight onto rocks, so beware of the rocks. As with many spots in this area it has 'boulder' type rocks not reef-rocks...Access to the water is on the beach to the left (south) of the point. All rocks have sharp shells and occasional urchins.
The locals have been digging up the sand along the beach lately. They have used it to make a more 'protected' beach area directly in front of the point break. This means that the beach break has many more rocks than last year and the waves come up the beach much higher during high tide (much less area to safely suntan/keep your stuff/etc). It seems like the wave shape of the beach break has been effected slightly as well.

The vibe here is pure solitude, with waves that demand precision and power, rewarding those who time […]
You have to stand up very fast or you will lose the wave, also the tubulars are very fast. You should park your car just at the end of the road.
La Timba is a rarely surfed spot in a wave rich area. Long slow left and right lines. Very consistent, always something surfable. A shifty peak over a rock reef, no tubes to speak of. A long paddle from Playa Silencio. Rarely worth the effort but never crowded either. A great longboarding wave when it is working. Can hold big surf.
You have to park your car just at the side of the road to the sea very close to the edge so that you don´t get the back of your car crashed by others.
A thick and ledgy two way reef peak. Best when big, from 6-10'. Needs a good combination of swell and no wind. Rides more like a beach break when small with shifting peaks. When big a peak shows up with tubes. Often closes out.
