About This Break
Punta Rocas is one of Peru's iconic competition reefs: a powerful, extremely consistent rock reef producing both rights and lefts and capable of holding substantial swell. Surfline likens its performance character to a much more powerful Peruvian version of Lower Trestles and notes its history of national championships.
For surfers looking to buy, sell or invest around Punta Negra, Punta Hermosa and Peru's Lima coast, International Surf Properties connects the global surf community with real estate in the places surfers want to live.
