Chiclayo's beach town, where a long, battered pier pointing into the swell builds sandbars with peaks both ways. It is consistent and surfable on most swells with a northeast wind at any tide; the best lefts form south of the pier when summer NW swells hit the winter sand. The lineup is quiet and friendly. Beginners can learn on the beach peaks away from the pilings, where currents get strong.
