Additional Information
Totoralillo is a small peninsula conformed by rocks and sand. It holds at least 3 pointbreaks. 2 of them are rights and 1 lefthander. The trhee has rocky bottoms. Sometimes the sandbar in the shorebreak is also makeable, so you get 4 waves. The beach in the summer season gets crowded end dirty, so because of the waves and the beach crowd, the best season is from march to june.
Atmosphere
Totoralillo is the most beatyfull beach in the Coquimbo region. The water is crystal claer and unpolluted. One of the right waves holds swells from 1 m. to 2.5 m. The other right point starts working with 2 m.(6 feet) swells up to 3m.(10 feet), as well as the left pointbreak. The locals are friendly. I recommend a 3.2 suit and booties.

- Hay tres rompientes interesantes en Totoralillo:La primera es a la derecha de la playa. No siempre hay buenas olas, así que será necesario un poco de viento cruzado para que se genere una buena rompiente. Cuando esto sucede, se arman olas no demasiado largas, pero muy poderosas y con buenos tubos. La segunda se encuentra justo en el centro. Esta siempre funciona, olas medianas, pero rápidas y a veces se generan zonas de tubo. La tercera es también a la derecha de la playa. Esta es la más popular y se puebla fácilmente. Se darán cuenta cuál es porque muchos body boarders se juntan allí.
