Rada Tilly, Argentina (South) is a beachbreak surf spot on the Patagonian coast, near Comodoro Rivadavia in Chubut. It’s known for its long sandy beach, open-ocean exposure, and cold-water surf in a raw, windy southern environment.

Surf character

Wave type: Mainly beachbreak
Best on: South and southeast swells can light it up, depending on sand movement and wind
Consistency: Moderate — it can pick up plenty of swell, but conditions are often shaped by strong winds
Skill level: Usually intermediate to advanced, especially because of the cold water, power, and variable conditions

Conditions

Water temperature: Cold year-round; a thick wetsuit is essential
Wind: Can be very windy; mornings and sheltered windows are often best
Wave quality: Can range from fun and clean to messy and heavy, depending on wind and sandbanks

What it’s like

Rada Tilly offers a more remote, rugged surf experience than many classic surf towns. The scenery is wide open, with a dramatic Patagonian feel. On the right swell and wind combo, it can produce solid, hollow beachbreak waves, but it’s not a forgiving beginner spot.

Best for

Surfers comfortable in cold water
Those chasing southern hemisphere swells
People looking for a less crowded, more adventurous surf destination
