Desembocadura is located in Concepción, the capital of Region 8 in Chile, right where the Bio Bio river meets the ocean. This spot is quite accessible and popular among surfers, making it a go-to for both locals and visitors. The beach is primarily a sand bottom, and you can expect some scattered rocks, but it’s mostly a straightforward setup for riding waves.

The surf here works best with a south/southwest swell, picking up sizes from 1ft (about 0.3m) and can handle both left and right waves. It’s generally alright for beginners, especially when the sand is settled just right, as it can sometimes produce decent form. Keep in mind, the waves often close out, so you'll need to pick your times wisely. The preferred wind direction is east, which can help shape the waves nicely, and you can catch surf at any tide—low, mid, or high.

Considering it's an easy spot to get to, Desembocadura can get crowded, especially on good days. It's a fun place to practice and improve your skills, but be prepared to share the waves. Overall, it’s a decent spot for a casual surf session, especially if you want something easy to access without venturing too far from town.
