About Sacasemita

Sacasemita is an isolated spot in the Ica region, near Puerto Caballas and south of Paracas, ideal for experienced surfers looking for quality waves far from everything. The area combines beach break and reef break sections that offer both rights and lefts, with waves that can become powerful and demanding depending on the swell. Its remote character is both its greatest appeal and its main challenge: there are no services nearby, so you must arrive prepared with water, food, fuel and all necessary equipment. The reward is surfing in a pristine desert setting, with cliffs, open sea and almost no one in the water. It works best with the south swells of the southern hemisphere winter. It is a destination for the adventurous, self-sufficient surfer who values exploration and solitude as much as wave quality, on one of the wildest stretches of the Peruvian coast.

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)
