Additional Surfing Infos |
| | I've lived there. Very quiet and cool place...
The only problem consist of the use of boats by some tourists to come back to the point after a wave (for more than 100 box!!!)
Even if you have from 15 to 30min walking to go back, it's a very nice thing! You can watch the others, think about your surf, and it's a good way to avoid croud problems, makes a turnover when it's crowded...
Using boats in Chicama is antisportive, the contrary of spirit of surf, pollutive and it's gonna destroy the pleasure and the reputation of this perfect wave.
Please, live it feel it and protect Chicama!!!

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
This spot and Pacasmayo, are the longuest waves in the world...! Only problem, not very constent... |
| |
General |
A bit more crowded than usual this last 6 months, but can't say that it's crowded! Nothing to worry about cause with the lenth of the wave, and regularity and frequency, if everybody boycots the use of boats, no problem of crowd... There is a permanent turn over and you can be 50 in the watter without any problem! |
