About Tres Picos

Tres Picos is a beach on the Costa Verde circuit, located next to Punta Roquitas, in Lima. It offers right and left waves that work best on high or mid tide, over the characteristic bottom of the Lima coast. It is one of the few beaches on the Costa Verde with green areas, which gives it an especially pleasant atmosphere for spending the day, and it has services such as restrooms, a first-aid station and lifeguards. It also stands out for its good local atmosphere and its surfing community, especially the members of the Tres Picos Surf Club, known for their warmth toward those who come to surf. The best season comes with south swells. It is a wave suitable for intermediate surfers looking for an accessible, well-equipped peak without leaving the city. For the Lima surfer who values a comfortable, safe and friendly setting, Tres Picos is one of the most welcoming stops on the Costa Verde.

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)
