  Surfline | CHICAMA
Chicama is one of the very few places where your legs are more important than your arms.
Chicama is a dusty little forgotten town and it seems that surfers also forgot how good this wave is. On a good swell you will be surfing with about a dozen guys (usually about 8 on the water and about 4 walking to the point at any given time).
Chicama was discovered back in 1967, when a group of surfers made a trip to search for a very long wave that a Hawaiian surfer named Chuck Shipman saw through the window of a plane when he was returning home from a trip to Peru.

 Surfing Peru, Chicama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Chicama is one of the longest and maybe THE longest wave in the world, can go on forever.
The first thing you need to know about Chicama is that it needs a big swell-at least 8 feet on the charts and it will be about 4 or 5 on the sets, otherwise it isnt worth it.
Got a 6 foot wave for over 1km for a 2 minute ride in late March at Chicama at dawn with the point all to myself for 2 hours, still possible to get it uncrowded in the early morning.

So far, I'd managed to avoid the twin temptation, but when a friend suggested an early dinner at Chicama the same week ABC Carpet and Home was posting SALE 75% OFF signs, I hit the ATM and packed the credit cards.
Having noted that Pipa, Chicama's sister restaurant, was a calmer haven, it was there that I returned for a Sunday brunch-and-browse before the sale signs came down.

The Chicama valley was one of the three most important during the formative years of the Moche.
It is also situated well for the protection of a nearby canal, whose water was probably one of the most important things in the lives of the people in this oasis valley in the middle of the Peruvian desert.
While the site does certainly contain some of the most impressive murals of anywhere within Moche provenience, it is important to note that the mound is not actually of Moche construction, but is, in fact, generally labeled as preceramic.

Westward flowing rivers including the Chicama drain the western Andes and dissect the coastal plain at regular intervals.
Ecological zones along the coast are defined by climatic conditions that are subsequently influenced by the flow of air masses over the Pacific Ocean and up the western cordillera of the Andes.
The collision of warm air and cold water creates a temperature inversion that inhibits coastal rainfall and causes extreme aridity along the coast between the Atacama Desert in northern Chile to the Lambayeque River in northern Peru, 200 kilometers north of El Brujo.
