Pichilemu

Pichilemu is Chile's undisputed surf capital—a collection of world-class point breaks centered around the historic resort town on the country's cold Pacific coast. La Puntilla, the main break, offers long left-hand walls that can rival anything in South America when solid Southern Ocean groundswells arrive. The surrounding coastline is dotted with additional spots, from beginner-friendly beaches to hollow reef breaks. Chilean surf culture runs deep here, with wetsuit-clad locals braving the cold water year-round. Pichilemu proves that you don't need tropical warmth to find world-class waves.
