Pichilemu

Best Surf Season (October - March)

Pichilemu is at its finest from October through March. The South Pacific subtropical high settles in, locking in the offshore S/SSW/SW flow while the baroclinic storm track stays far enough south to keep waves pulsing instead of chaotic. Swell averaging 1.6m (5.2ft) and 12.4-13.0s periods arrives mainly from the WSW/SW quadrant, producing powerful, rippable faces at the north-facing breaks. Ideal wind percentages peak between 68% and 75%, precipitation is at its lowest, and water temperatures climb to 13-14°C (55-57°F). This is the window when the combination of clean, lined-up groundswell, offshore wind and reliable weather makes Pichilemu truly world-class.
