Chicama is officially the world's longest wave—a left-hand point break in Peru that can deliver rides of 2+ kilometers when all four sections connect. The wave peels along the desert coastline with mechanical precision, passing through sections named Malpaso, Keys, Point, and Outer Point. Full connections are rare but possible during optimal SW swells. The setting is stark and beautiful: Peruvian desert, cold Humboldt Current water, and endless walls of surf. This is surfing's marathon.
