Skill Level
- •Who it's for: Advanced
- •Why: Fast, hollow waves over a rocky reef in cold water, the Pichilemu zone is not for the timid.
Hazards
- •Rocky reef and shore structure
- •Cold water (13–15°C)
- •Strong current on bigger swells
Local Tips
- •Lobería fires on the same swell as Punta de Lobos, check both on a big south swell day.
- •Less famous than Punta de Lobos means significantly fewer surfers, worth choosing if the main break is crowded.
