This spot is usually too fast and doesn't often line up perfectly. Not as good as its cousins in the Pichilemu area.
Atmosphere
If you are on a surf trip, I would recommend you go to Pichilemu instead. This spot works better in the morning.

Only for Windsurfers - This place is "the place" but for windsurfing together with topocalma. I was on a surf trip when our vehicle broke down and stayed for 5 days, not even 1 good day to surf. It allways have heavy onshore wind making the wave unridable, breaking in sections.If you are a windsurfer this is the place for you, go to matanzas and stay in "Olas de Matanzas" Surfcamp and Cabañas, ask for Mario, they are excelent people.
