About Cherrepe

Cherrepe is a long, consistent left located on the border between La Libertad and Lambayeque, a remote spot that rewards the exploring surfer with quality waves and very few people in the water. Its long walls shape up well with south swell and offer long rides ideal for drawing lines and linking maneuvers. The setting is quiet and rugged, without the pressure of the busier northern beaches. The best season runs from April to October, in the middle of the southern hemisphere winter. An extra draw of the area is its proximity to important archaeological sites of the Moche and Sicán cultures, such as the Sipán area, which lets you combine surf with history and culture. It is a wave recommended for intermediate surfers and above looking for quality, solitude and a different plan, mixing surf sessions with the historical richness of northern Peru.

Condition Scoring

Rating Algorithm 1-10

Each forecast hour receives a score from 1 to 10, calculated by adding points for different factors:

Wave Height (0-4 pts)

< 0.5m = 0 pts | 0.5-1.0m = 1 pt | 1.0-1.5m = 2 pts | 1.5-2.5m = 3 pts | > 2.5m = 4 pts

Dominant Period (-1 to 3 pts)

Uses the dominant/peak period (wave_period). < 8s = -1 pt (wind swell, messy) | 8-10s = 0 pts | 10-12s = 1 pt | 12-16s = 2 pts | > 16s = 3 pts

Wind (-2 to +2 pts)

Glassy (< 5 km/h): +2. Light wind (5-10 km/h): +1. Moderate wind (10-20 km/h): offshore +1, onshore -1. Strong wind (> 20 km/h): onshore -2, offshore -1. Wind data covers the full 15-day forecast window.

Secondary Swell (-1 to +1 pt)

If a secondary swell with height ≥ 0.3m and long period (≥ 10s) exists, +1 point is added. If the period is short (< 10s) and direction differs > 45° from the primary swell, -1 point penalty for crossed seas. If directions are similar (≤ 45°), no penalty is applied.

Rating by score:

Flat (1) Poor (2-3) Fair (4-5) Good (6-7) Epic (8-10)
