Los Pinos, Chile (Central Santiago) is a surf spot on the central coast north of Santiago, known for a scenic, exposed beachbreak that can deliver powerful waves when the swell is up. It’s generally a less urban, more natural-feeling spot compared with beaches closer to the city, with cold Pacific water and a rugged coastline typical of central Chile.

What to expect

Wave type: Mostly beachbreak
Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy, especially with the right swell direction
Skill level: Often best for intermediate to advanced surfers, depending on conditions
Crowds: Usually lighter than the more famous nearby breaks, but this can vary by season and swell

Conditions

Water temperature: Cold year-round; a thick wetsuit is usually needed
Best season: Often autumn and winter for stronger, more consistent swells
Wind/swell sensitivity: Like many central Chile spots, it works best with clean offshore winds and a good south/southwest swell

Atmosphere

Los Pinos tends to have a laid-back, local surf vibe and is part of the broader central Chile surf zone, which is known for long coastline access, dramatic scenery, and reliable Southern Ocean swell.
