Go to Viņa del mar, and take de coast road to the north. Drive 60 km. Maitencillo is a mellow little town about 1 hour north of Renaca. Maitencillo has two beaches abanico1 and abanico2.
There is a nice left point break in the south end of playa abanico2 and the rest is a beach break with many fun peaks. The town is clean and nice, there are some places to stay for not too much money and the food is great. The locals are also mellow. Need a 3/2 full wetsuit but it wasn't cold when I went (March). I think from Oct to April it should be pretty warm (low 60s). Waves probably can get huge but I got it at about waist to head (2-4ft). Itīs a good spot, when you are near Viņa del Mar, go there!!!
Overview
