La Puntilla

La Puntilla is a point break in Chile's Atacama region that delivers its best waves during winter, fueled by southwest groundswells. The left-hand point break works best at low tide but can get crowded, so timing is key. Intermediate surfers will find the waves rewarding, though rip currents and occasional crowds require caution. Offshore southeast winds create ideal conditions when they align with the right swell.
