About Punta de Lobos
Punta de Lobos is a rocky headland on the coast of central Chile, a short way south of the town of Pichilemu. Two tall rock stacks stand in the water off the point and are the best-known sight there. The wave runs along the point to the left as a surfer rides it towards the shore, and it is often described as long and powerful, and the spot is widely regarded as the centre of surfing in Chile. Surfers generally reach the water down the cliff and off the rocks. Swells arrive from the south through much of the year, so the surf is usually consistent, and the largest waves commonly come in the southern winter, typically from around April to September. The water is cold, wetsuits are usual, and a campaign to protect the headland from development has made it well known beyond surfing.
