Additional Information
Even though El Claron looks like a long point, there are only two spots surfed: the last section near where the wave ends and the outer part of the point.
Atmosphere
This is a small town and the line up is very small too, so if you are not from Horcon show some respect.
General
This is one of the closest point breaks to Valparaiso.

good wave but... - Always flat...you need a power swell tu surf it, but when claron breakes there s a lot of other spots that works (Maitencillo - Ritoque), if you are a beginer thats OK
