Reñaca surf guide

Reñaca is located just north of Viña del Mar, making it a go-to spot for surfers in this region of Chile. This beach is pretty popular, especially during the summer months, so expect to see a lot of surfers and bodyboarders in the water. The vibe here can get lively, with plenty of people looking to catch some waves, but there’s enough beach to find your own spot either way.

The surf here offers a mix of beach breaks and some actions closer to the boulders on the north end. The waves can handle sizes from 2 ft (0.6 m) and up, which can make for some good rides. The best swell direction is from the southwest, but it also works with swells from the south and northwest. You can find waves that break both left and right, and these can come from an uneven reef or sand. For wind, a northeast direction is preferable. Generally, it’s good for intermediate surfers, and you can catch decent waves at low, mid, or high tide.

Reñaca is known for its consistency in surf, scoring high in that department. It can get crowded on weekends, given that it’s a major beach holiday destination. While there might be some local surfers, the shifting peaks ensure that everyone can have some fun without too much hassle. Just take your time to find the right spot and enjoy the surf.
