Pichilemu is home to two well known left hand point breaks. Lying so close to the southern Pacific Ocean, Chile picks up constant swell throughout all times of the year. The Humboldt current flows northward continuously wrapping around Chile’s multitude of point breaks and headlands. The consistency of swell in Pichilemu is it’s major asset. Expect a few swells with size and flat spells are rare and usually short lived. Both breaks in town can pack a punch and sometimes have a ferocious current. Bring a wetsuit! 

 

Puntilla- This little point which lies just off the center of town is arguably Chile’s longest wave and can produce rides up to 500 meters in length. In fact, the ride can leave your legs screaming against the notion of another cutback. Puntilla is extremely consistent and picks up swells of all sizes and directions. Surf checks are easy as you can see the wave from multiple locations in town.
