About Pimentel

Pimentel is a historic port in Lambayeque, famous for having one of the longest piers in Peru and for being, along with Huanchaco, one of the birthplaces of the caballito de totora, the ancestral reed craft that fishermen have ridden across these waves for centuries. In the water it offers left and right waves that break over a sand bottom, with friendly conditions that suit both intermediates and those who are progressing. The best season runs from April to October, with south swells. Beyond surfing, Pimentel has a strong traditional beach-town charm, with its promenade, historic pier, artisanal fishing and rich seafood cuisine. Its proximity to Chiclayo makes it very accessible and popular in summer. It is an ideal destination to combine surf, living culture and beach in northern Peru, with an authentic atmosphere and a seafaring tradition felt in every corner.

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)
