Left point in the bay south of Puerto Eten's pier, below the Punta La Farola lighthouse, about 20 km south of Chiclayo. A SW swell from about 0.6 m to 2.4 m wraps onto the rocks and walls up for a few hundred metres; a northeast wind and low to mid tide suit it, and summer swells bring rights back toward the pier. Wear booties to cross the rocks at the entry.
