Chicama is a beach break located on Peru's Pacific coast, facing northwest toward open ocean. The spot sits where dramatic coastal cliffs meet a sandy beach with rocky outcrops, creating a distinctive landscape shaped by significant cliff erosion and tidal dynamics. The area experiences Peru's famous upwelling currents, which drive consistent wind patterns but also create complex water conditions. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing reliable side-shore flow. The spot suits intermediate kiters who can navigate rocky hazards and understand rip current behavior. Wind reliability data suggests inconsistent conditions (0.8%), meaning sessions require careful weather monitoring. Wave heights average modest 1.42m, suitable for skill progression. The water remains cool year-round due to the Humboldt Current. Kiters should be aware of rocky terrain on land and in water, sharp coastal features, and changing tidal patterns that affect access and water conditions. Local knowledge regarding seasonal wind patterns is essential.
