Pimentel

Pimentel is a WSW-facing point break in Chiclayo, Lambayeque, Peru. It picks up swell from SSE to WNW and WNW to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 37% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
