Punta de Lobos
Edit SpotAbout
Cold
Atmosphere:
A beautiful area, like northern California. Pine trees, cold waters, lots of marine birds and sea lions. Lobos can be a frustrating wave. Look at photos of the spot and you will see it is a walled up mass of water...not often tubey usually bit rippable walls.
Additional Info:
Los Lobos is for experienced surfers. The entry to the break as you will figure out requires perfect timing otherwise you could be bashed against some serious rocks. A very consistent spot, often too bit. Not an easy wave to ride, lots of water moving, heavy currents and cold water. 3 distinct sections make up the point with the inside being the most hollow and most fickle. North winds blow it out. Reliable spot.
