Info provided by WeatherSpark.com and on spot observations.

The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors. The Negritos Lighthouse is located on the Westernmost spur of land in all of South America. The South wind therefore blows free from any obstacle and makes Negritos beach the windiest point in Peru. 

Typically the almost imperceptible breeze turns into wind around noon and reaches its highest speed from 1 pm to 4 pm, leaving surfers plenty of time to surf the glassy waves in the morning and late afternoon.

The windier part of the year lasts for 10 months, from April to January, with average wind speeds of more than 10.4 miles per hour. The windiest month of the year in Negritos is either August or September, with an average hourly wind speed of 12.8 miles per hour.

The calmer time of year lasts for 2 months, from February to March. The calmest month of the year in Negritos is March, with an average hourly wind speed of 7.9 miles per hour.
