Los Molles, Chile is a well-known surf break on the central coast of Chile, roughly north of Santiago. It’s a scenic beach town with a mix of mellow points and more powerful swell exposure depending on the exact spot and conditions.

Surf character

Wave type: Mostly a beachbreak / point-style setup in the area, with rights and lefts depending on the sand and reef contours.
Best swells: Southern and southwest swell tends to light it up, with the best shape during stronger winter systems.
Wind: Offshore winds are typically from the east, which can clean up the surf when conditions line up.
Ability level: Can work for intermediates, but bigger swells and heavier winter surf can make it more suitable for experienced surfers.

Conditions

Water temperature: Cooler water year-round; a wetsuit is usually needed.
Crowd level: Can be popular when conditions are good, especially on weekends and during prime swell season.
Season: Chile’s surf season is generally strongest in fall and winter, with more consistent swell and better wave quality.

Vibe and setting

A relaxed coastal town atmosphere.
Dramatic Pacific coastline with rocky headlands and long views.
Good base for exploring nearby surf breaks along Chile’s central coast.
