Cabo Blanco - surf spot statistics

Cabo Blanco, Peru, is a world-class surf destination with consistent ground swells dominating year-round, ensuring almost no flat days. The best months for surfing are typically from January to April, when the swell remains solid (1.4m–1.6m) and wind conditions are most favorable, with good winds occurring 55–62% of the time. February stands out with 100% ground swell, 1.4m average size, and 62% good wind conditions, making it one of the prime months. March follows closely with a slightly larger swell (1.5m) and still favorable winds (61%). While the swell persists in May (1.7m), wind quality drops significantly, with only 40% good conditions. From June onward, the swell remains strong but wind conditions deteriorate further, with bad winds prevailing over 60% of the time, peaking in July (65% bad winds). Despite the reliable ground swells during these months, the frequent onshore or unfavorable winds make sessions less ideal compared to early-year conditions. December marks an improvement over mid-year, with 100% ground swell and 1.4m waves, but winds remain suboptimal (58% bad). Overall, surfers should prioritize the first four months of the year for the best combination of wave consistency, size, and cleaner wind conditions. Late-season surfers may still find rideable waves but should expect more challenging winds.
