Located in Chicama, Peru, Salaverry Harbour is a quality beach break/series of jetties that offers up barreling A-frame peaks. The waves here are challenging and get quite heavy once overhead, breaking for up to 100 meters (about 328 feet) over a sand bottom. This spot holds size well but is generally a little polluted.
What are the best surf conditions for Salavarry Harbour?
Salaverry Harbour gets good between waist-high and triple overhead. We recommend riding a shortboard and then a step up as the size picks up. This break is suitable for intermediate and advanced-level surfers. The surf here is pretty consistent (6/10) and will generally be uncrowded (4/10). The best winds are from the Northeast. The best swells are from the South, Southwest, and West. Works on all tides.
We recommend wearing boardshorts or a bikini in the summer when water temperatures hit 25°C (about 77°F). In the winter, a 3/2 wetsuit is best when water temps drop to 21°C (about 70°F). See the temperature chart below for more data on this.
