Very dependent on sand flow. Hasn't been world class in a number of years. Sectiony left lines with occasional perfection on the good days. Massive currents and cold water. Paddle out can be punishing.

A reliable wave for fun lefts...hasn't been epic in 2-3 years.

I drove up to the point and there was one guy out. Air was warm, but water was cold put on all accesories including hood, but took it off in the water. It was small, but fun and good length rides a great way to start off my first day surfing in Chile More...
Pichilemu
Check out Hotel Bahia when you go, its cheap and secure with free internet. Its right next to the Copec gas station. If taking a bus get off at Al Centro and not the bus terminal.

Pichilemu Accom?
Hey,
I`m in Arica at the moment and will be in Pichilemu in about 3 weeks, just wondered if anyone can tell me if there`s penty of cheapish winter accomodation down there? cheers.
PS Paying out on the locals after surfng thier local is shit, some people are just scumbags, if ya don`t like the locals, stay home.
