 Surf Spot Characteristics

 Additional Information

La Boca always has waves, Punta del Piedra is the long beach on the other side of the river, if La Boca has no waves simply cross the river and walk until you find a peak. During the El Nino, La Boca was world class, but it can be crap and mushy or a horrendous closeout too on a west swell. Renaca has very good, but crowded peaky waves - compared to the wedge (?)Lots of Beautiful girls, but the local Renaca surfers are generally wankers. Ritoque is a scary big wave spot, Horcon has an excellent left point on monster swells this is an epic surfing coast

Este lugar posee muchas zonas para surfear, generalmente el lugar se divide en 3. Estos son:
-El sector de las escuelas: Esta zona se destaca por tener olas suaves y algo campanas (close-out). Generalmente, este es el que mas se llena de toda la playa, tiene un ambiente muy relajado. Algo asi como soul-surf :).

-Desde la ultima escuela a la desembocadura: Esta zona se destaca por tener potentes izquierdas y una gran derecha (llamada la fantasma) que puede correr mucho e incluso entubar. Aquí el ambiente se destaca por ser un poco mas ''serio'' en cuanto al surf, hay desde intermedios, pasando por locales hasta surfistas del circuito FECHSURF. NOTA: TENER MUCHO CUIDADO EN ESTA ZONA EN ESPECIAL HACIA LA DESEMBOCADURA, POR LAS FUERTES CORRIENTES QUE JALAN MAR ADENTRO (HAN FALLECIDO A LO MENOS 5 PERSONAS POR IMPRUDENCIA)

-Desde la desembocadura hasta punta piedra: Zona destacada por tener hermosa naturaleza y olas enormes. Cuando el mar esta plano, cruzas el rio y encuentras tu ola, hay una gran variedad. Solo debes animarte y cruzar :). PD: Aquí siempre hay olas. Idealmente ir cuando el reporte marca 0,5-0.8 hacia abajo.

Ahora en cuanto a la ola:
Generalmente es muy sensible al viento, debes levantarte temprano e ir en la mañana. En días normales es una ola normal suave, no esperes grandes sorpresas. Ahora, cuando las olas llegan de S-SW se desata un espectáculo, ya que la ola es totalmente diferente, corre muchos metros hasta la orilla y tiende a tener mucha fuerza. Ocasionalmente abre tubos, difíciles de salir. Finalmente, cabe destacar que la ola es muy variada, ya que depende del fondo-Viento-Dirección de las olas.
PD: MEJORES CONDICIONES: S-SW;15-16s; viento:S-SE.

Atmosphere

Too many spongers, they used to have there own little spongy spot around the corner at Playa Amarilla, now they've migrated to La Boca. The beach is ugly and polluted, oil refinery round the corner. But between here, Ritoque -the very far end of a 10 mile or so long beach which encompasses La Piedra too, you are going to be surfing good to excellent waves every day, I know because I did for 2 years.

Ambiente muy relajado, generalmente se respira un aire de Soul-Surf y mucha buena onda. Si no tienes donde dejar tus cosas, puedes ir a una escuela y pedir que te las cuiden (Son muy amigables :) ).

General

Scary, mellow, epic, frustrating, clean tubes, mush balls, smell of oil, big fucking sealions , a view of Mount Aconcagua to die for. Offshores howling off the Andes, cold Antarctic onshores. Basically a spot that can be crap or incredible and world class, depending on swell, river flow, banks etc. There is also a left point off the rocks by the fishermens yard that the spongies like, personally I wouldn't risk my fins.

Muy entretenido, ideal para toda la familia. Si quieres pasar un buen rato. Este es tu lugar :D
