About Puemape

Puémape is a quality left located between Pacasmayo and Chicama, in La Libertad, an uncrowded spot that rewards exploration with powerful, tubular waves. It breaks over reef and works with consistent south swells, offering fast, well-shaped sections that are best enjoyed with some experience. Being in one of the richest zones of lefts on the planet, it shares the coastline with world-class waves, yet keeps a much quieter atmosphere without the crowds of its famous neighbors. The best season runs from April to October, in the middle of the southern hemisphere winter. It is a wave recommended for intermediate surfers and above looking for quality and solitude in northern Peru. For the traveler following the route of lefts between Chicama and Pacasmayo, Puémape is a stop worth discovering, with powerful waves and very few people in the water.

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)
