Maitencillo

Edit spot

About

A good spot to learn, and there are some good waves for advance surfers...

Atmosphere:
COOl spot!
there are some local, but it´s not a problem.

Additional Info:
There is a nice left point break in the south end of playa abanico2 and the rest is a beach break with many fun peaks. The town is clean and nice, there are some places to stay for not too much money and the food is great. The locals are also mellow. Need a 3/2 full wetsuit but it wasn't cold when I went (March). I think from Oct to April it should be pretty warm (low 60s).
Waves probably can get huge but I got it at about waist to head (2-4ft).
It´s a good spot, when you are near Viña del Mar, go there!!!
