Traveller notes on Chicama in April
Notes from nearby Trujillo (33 km away)
Chicama doesn't have its own notes for April yet — these are about Trujillo, close enough to share the season.
Peru's coast forum treats Trujillo and nearby Huanchaco as reliably good through April, the tail end of the region's better weather stretch for surfing, comparable to the pleasant conditions posters described for Lima on the same coast. This stretch of desert coastline is normally quite dry, but forum threads about El Niño years are a reminder that Trujillo can see genuinely unusual, heavier rain when that pattern is active - 2017's flooding came up specifically. In a typical April, though, expect scattered light showers rather than a washout, with warm, humid days good for the beach.
