Goofy foot heaven - I like mid-sized point break waves and am goofy so to me this is the best wave on Earth. I didnt have quite the skills to pump around the sections when I surfed it a while back but caught some great head high waves. Allegedly on large swells you can surf for 2 miles. The environment is stunning and unique with interesting rock formations and amazing headlands and stunning desert. The water is cold in the winter (low 60s) but the good news is there is no mosquitoes, jellyfish, malaria, crocodiles or any of the other creepy things you find in much of latin america. Wind also seems to blow predominately offshore.

I stayed at the Iguana which is sorta the de facto surf hotel hangout. Food is extremely cheap and awesome. Take the yellow bus from trujillo to get here, I think its the last stop and is super cheap. This spot is worth the trek if you like this kind of wave.

No problem - There is no problem in "venturing there on your own" as stated in the description.
I've just been to this amazing place, booked a hotel, rented a board from a friendly family somewhere in the town, walked up, paddled up, took the boat offered by the hotel, everything possible.
If you're lazy and not the adventurous guy OK, book a guided trip there or whatever that ad is about, otherwise just go there, use common sense and enjoy the longest waves of your life!

Must-Do... - Insane, mechanical surf break. I took my son there in 2011 (he was 11) on our annual boys trip. The mystery is how no one is there at this 1-2 mile wave; the answer is it's always overcast, the water sometimes tastes like chemicals from the fishmeal plant up the cape (we got violently ill one night).. The payoff is the longest rides of your life, and the longest paddles. Fall off? No problem, there's another wave just like it in twelve seconds or so- and no one around. It's downright lonely when you spread a dozen or do surfers along a mile of break.

The water's damn cold, bring booties and your 4/3. Stay at the Lodge if you can swing it. And for God's sake don't paddle back up the point; get out and walk, or pay for the zodiac (free if you're at the Lodge). But go.

Don't stay at Hostal Los Delfines de Chicama - If you go to Chicama, don't stay at the Hostal Los Delfines de Chicama! We were robbed by the staff for US$200 and a phone while we were out surfing. There were no other guests, and the room was locked.. When we checked out, the manager threathen us with a gun so there was no way to get it back even though we knew they took it.. If you look at the post further down, it was the same in 2010 as well...

Mama Paula - Do not get the mama paula boat. The guy is paid for a 3 hour session and with 2 hours he gets out sayng the gas is over. And the boat is so big that after you get in, it keeps stoping to get a lot of surfers in the way to the point. The small boats are the best, if you can pay.

Oye, Machapu ese paquete no me lo metes tu. - Machapu wants to save the environment and the local town. What he wants to save his pocket too. I'm puerto rican and I was taught the slickness (malicia), not to fool people, but to avoid being fooled. I don't like to paddle constantly. Everything else sounds great. Would be fun with out the current. No thanks though. Have fun. Sell that shit man!

Bubonic Plague - news today... - Oscar Ugarte, the health minister, said authorities were screening sugar and fish meal exports from Ascope province, located about 325 miles north-west of Lima.
Chicama beach, a popular draw for tourists to Peru, is not far away.
