El Rancio - Arica, Chile El Rancio features powerful right-hand reef breaks, with hollow and fast waves that can reach up to 2 meters. The bottom consists of sharp coral and rocks, making it essential for surfers to be cautious. This spot works well at all tides and is known for its ultra-crowded conditions, especially on weekends. Located just 5 minutes south of Arica, El Rancio is a bodyboarding hotspot that attracts a youthful crowd. The wave is often compared to a mix of The Box and Shark Island, providing thrilling barrels and challenging take-offs. While the atmosphere is friendly, it’s crucial to respect the locals and their tight take-off zone. Be prepared for potential hazards like urchins and pollution from the nearby fish factory. If you're looking for a different experience from the mellow beachbreaks nearby, El Rancio offers an adrenaline-pumping alternative for those willing to tackle its intense conditions.
