La Puntilla (Arica) surf guide

Surf: La Puntilla is a rare left breaking at the mouth of the San Jose river. Due to its tucked-in location, only the largest swells will produce rideable waves and it is often sectiony and closed-out. Environment: Often crowded because everywhere else may be maxed-out.
