Surf La Chilena-Algarrobo

La Chilena - Algarrobo La Chilena features a right-breaking reef wave with a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. This spot is known for its hollow, fast, and powerful waves, making it primarily a bodyboarders' destination.

Located on the central coast of Chile, Algarrobo offers consistent surf and varied breaks, appealing to surfers seeking a solid session. While the local vibe is laid-back, the spot can become competitive, especially during peak swells. Surfers should be prepared for rocky sections and potential hazards like urchins and rips.
