You need some good size guns to go out there, and it looks way smaller on the beach than in the water.

Mejillones - This is not Mejillones, this spot is called la Caleta. Mejillones is about 3km east.

nice wave! - Surfed here last week a few times, it got pretty big with some double overhead sets coming in. Added 3 photos to. Got a real nice barrel on the inside section!

heavy spot - this spot is seriosuly heavy, picks up shit loads of swell and theres alot of water moving around out there. You sure need to be riding a big board, and when theres a big clean swell it usually goes off like triple overhead!Sick, crazy , some heavy fucked up shit!
