wind in peru? blah!

strange conditions the past few days in lima, with heavy windswell accompanying a big and powerful groundswell that left frustrated surfers in short-cycle sets that resembled washing machines. mushy 10 foot waves kept most people out of the water and the extreme southerly swell direction didn't help either. peru's coast is probably one of the least wind places on earth, which normally means you can surf on glassy waves at sunset, but these last few days have been an anomaly of sorts...
that being said, triangulo came alive as it does on occasion, and on saturday morning we were the only two surfers out as it started to crank up... it's also pretty much the only break in southern peru perfectly sheltered from the wind...
