Punta Lobos surf guide

Punta Lobos is a popular surf spot that stretches out like an elongated version of El Cordon. Located in a scenic area, it features a sandy bottom and provides some wind protection, making it a decent choice for surfers looking for a good session. While it's not the most famous surf spot, it has its own vibe and can get crowded with fellow surfers enjoying the waves.

This spot works best with a northwestern swell direction, taking incoming swells from both the west and northwest. It handles swell sizes starting around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and can be surfed at low, mid, and high tides. The waves break over uneven reef and sand, creating both point breaks and decent right-hand waves. Intermediate surfers will find Punta Lobos suitable, especially when the preferred wind direction is from the northeast.

Keep an eye out for the locals, as the lineup can get busy. Also, be aware that sharks have been spotted in the area, so it’s something to keep in mind while you’re catching waves at Punta Lobos. Overall, it’s a spot that offers a mix of fun waves and a lively surf community.
