Surf Mejillones

Mejillones - North Shore Mejillones features powerful, hollow waves breaking over a rocky reef, suitable for experienced surfers. The spot offers both right and left-handers, with conditions optimal at all tides. Access is straightforward, requiring a short drive followed by an instant walk of less than 5 minutes. Located on the north shore, Mejillones is known for its impressive size, often appearing smaller from the beach than in the water. The best swell comes from the northwest, complemented by southeast to east winds. Despite its allure, the spot remains uncrowded during the week and on weekends. Surfers should be cautious of hazards such as urchins, rips, undertow, and sharp rocks. A solid quiver of larger boards is recommended to tackle the powerful waves effectively.
