About Negritos

Negritos is a fishing village located southwest of Talara, in Piura, with a consistent beach break and a strong windy-area character. Its waves break over a sand bottom and offer fun sessions for intermediate surfers, but it is above all the wind that defines the area: the good breeze conditions make it a highly prized destination for kitesurfing and windsurfing, sports that find here one of their best settings in northern Peru. The water is warm all year round, as along the whole Talara coastline. A nearby natural attraction is the sea lion colony, which adds wildlife to the desert and coastal landscape. For the traveler exploring Piura, Negritos is an interesting stop that combines surf, wind sports and nature, with an authentic fishing atmosphere and far fewer crowds than the region's more touristy destinations.

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)
