Spot guide
Máncora is an NW-facing point break in Playa Pocitas, Piura, Peru. It picks up swell from SW to N, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 41% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SE: light winds or SE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NW onshores chop it up.
