Puemape is another really nice wave in between Pacasmayo and Chicama. Access to the water is fairly easy, waves are not too intimidating, and there are no strong current except in case of a massive swell. The only hazards are a rocky shore and the fact that you will be probably riding alone there.

This is a small fisherman community. You will find one or two restaurants but no shops, so better bring water, and eventually some food too.
