The Cabo Blanco Classic
A heavy left under the cliffs at Cabo Blanco, Piura. This is the wave that held the Cabo Blanco Classic, a thick wall in a fishing town that still smells like fish. It is not Chicama. It does not want to be.
When.
November to March
Southwest swell. November to March is the window people fly for.
Worth knowing.
- 1. Watch a set from the point. This is a thick wave, not a long playground left.
- 2. The town is small. Bring cash. The session is the reason you came.
- 3. The Classic made the name. The reef does the work.
- 4. If you want the long left, Chicama is a different coast and a different wave.
Go.
Before you paddle.
- 1. Check local conditions before entering
- 2. Always surf with a buddy
- 3. Know your limits and skill level
- 4. Watch for rip currents
- 5. Respect local surfers and rules
