More about Infiernillo surfspot

General: In the next bay just south of Pichilemu, Infiernillo is the region's hidden gem. Often super fast and verging on unmakeable, this sand-bottomed left point is hollower than Punta de Lobos, and usually way less crowded. When the sand's just right, you could be forgiven for thinking you're surfing a reverse Burleigh Heads, as sections racetrack down the line towards the inside rocks. It's best to choose a high-speed line as you're getting it wired; after a couple days, it's easier to start relaxing into the tube and making sections. Careful when it's big, though, as it's almost as hard and complex as Ocean Beach, SF to make it out. Tides: Low Size: Head high-well overhead Wind: E Swell: SW Bottom: Sand and a few scattered rocks Paddling: Not bad on the average day, but can be a 10 when it's large. Spot Rating: A good wave, but usually requires a lot of speed to make.

Intermediate to advanced

Park right at the base of the point/headland.

March-April

Crowd Factor: After school can get kinda gnarly, but dawn patrols are empty Local Vibe: If the Pichilemu locals are out, they'll get the best waves. As always, humility and respect will go a long way.

Not bad
