Punta Topocalma surf guide

Punta Topocalma is a surf spot located on a major headland that attracts swells from various directions. It features a mix of rocky areas and beachbreaks, making it a place to escape the crowds found at nearby Puertocillo. While the surf here isn't the most epic, it offers a decent option for a day when you want to hit the waves without dealing with a lot of people. The scenery is pretty laid-back, and the vibe is chill, making it a good spot for a relaxed surf session.

This spot works best with south and southwest swells, and it can handle sizes around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters). You'll find more lefts breaking off the north side of the "Pan de Azúcar" rocks, which lead into the beachbreaks. The waves here are mostly point breaks with an uneven reef, so watch out for the rocks. The ideal wind comes from the east, and it’s good to surf during low, mid, or high tide. Intermediate surfers will find enough challenge without feeling overwhelmed, especially on the inside where the beachbreak is often okay for beginners when conditions allow.

Be cautious of the currents and rocks that can be found throughout the area. The surf conditions can change quickly, so it's always good to keep an eye on the water and be aware of your surroundings. Whether you’re looking for an escape or just some decent waves, Punta Topocalma can offer a satisfying day on the water.
