Chile in December? - I'll be around Santiago on the coast from mid to late December - what should I expect in terms of swell? Any input appreciated (my guess is head high or so given it is the low season in terms of swell).

Too Much - I think there are a lot of spots that are overrated. There´s no way that "la boca" has more stars than "maitencillo". I recomend taking one star to each spot, except the world known spots like punta de lobos, la puntilla, puerte, etc...
you can find californian and aussies boards at Santiago surf shops.
