About This Spot
Mendieta, Peru is one of the world's premier wind-sports destinations, located in Peru.
Situated in South America, the spot offers Flat and Chop water conditions, making it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.
With S–SSW winds, peaking from January to December, Mendieta, Peru delivers the kind of sessions that keep riders coming back year after year.
Why Riders Love It
In the low wind season (May to August) you find 15-25 knots. I would say about 70% of the time you find that wind, and another 30% you find 9-14 knots. It can be quite gusty - even sometimes dangerous because it speeds up very fast and gets unpredictable strong (that wind is called Paraca). It's the last resource when there is no wind in Paracas.
When to Go
Sunny all day. The spot is on the Peruvian coast which never exceeds 15°C of water temperature. So be sure to wear appropriate wetsuits.
What to Expect
Beautiful, flat water all around.
