About Puerto Eten

Puerto Eten is a quiet beach town located about 20 kilometers south of Chiclayo, in Lambayeque, known for its more than six kilometers of fine sand and its unhurried atmosphere. In the water it is mainly a fun beach break suitable for all levels, with rocky areas near the pier, to the south, where more demanding waves form for experienced surfers. That mix makes it ideal both for families and beginners and for those seeking a bit more challenge. The area keeps a strong historic and railway character, with its old pier and station as witnesses of another era. It has seafood restaurants, lodging and beach umbrella rentals, which makes it easy to spend the whole day. For the surfer traveling the north, Puerto Eten is a relaxed, accessible stop, with plenty of space in the water and the quiet charm of a traditional Lambayeque beach town.

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)
