Chicama - El Point

Chicama, in the La Libertad region of Peru, is home to the longest left in the world: a sand-point wave that can reach more than 2 km in length on big days. The spot works all year, but delivers most in the Peruvian winter (April to October), when south and southwest swells arrive more often and with better quality. A sand bottom with a few rocky stretches, predominantly east-northeast offshore wind and waves that accept any tide make Chicama one of the most coveted points in South America, with multiple sections (Malpaso, El Point, Keyhole, El Hombre) that allow long rides for intermediate and advanced surfers.
