Punta Teatinos surf guide
Surf: La Serena threatens Viña del Mar's supremacy as Chile's premier beach resort, so it gets really popular and more pricey in January and February. 7km (4mi) north is Punta Teatinos, a semi-right pointbreak capping a long beachbreak lined with good resorts, a golf course and a lagoon that attracts many bird species.
Environment: Consistent and empty, but the paddling can be heavy when the A-frames hit overhead.
