A mellow beach break in Lima's Circuito de Playas, Redondo delivers short, forgiving peaks that beginners and intermediate surfers use as a learning ground year-round. Swells from S through NW push rideable waves into the break, with easterly offshores cleaning things up in the mornings. The wave stays manageable from knee-high up to about head-high, rarely intimidating and rarely closing out hard. Located next to the Rosa Nautica restaurant, it draws a friendly crowd on weekends, though numbers stay low enough to find space in the lineup. Bottom: sand. Season: year-round. Consistency: medium. Dawn patrol gives you the cleanest conditions before onshores fill in, and a soft-top or longboard will serve you better here than a high-performance shortboard.
