Punta de Lobos

 


One of my favorite spots in Pichilemu was Punta de Lobos. It is one of the most popular places in the world for surfing and surf competitions.




Can you spot the tiny surfer in this photo?

 The surfers swim out across that frothy pass with waves and the current constantly pulling on them as they try to get to the punta on the other side. They then walk across the rocks, jump in and paddle out to catch the best waves.

We watched the surfers all afternoon until sunset. By the end of the day we were quite wind blown but it was well worth it. 




Surfing was the one thing we didn't get to do there. So we're heading back in January to catch some waves. (Some of the smaller ones of course - you won't see us out there by the point)
