Spot intelligence.

Punta de Lobos is split conceptually between its inside point and outside big-wave zone. Southwest energy, southeast wind and lower water receive the strongest fit; a high score never removes the expert-only consequences of large outside sets.

Character

01

Punta de Lobos is defined by long left point with inside walls and an outside big-wave takeoff over sand, rock and exposed point ledges. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.

Best setup

02

SW · W can focus the upper point swell, se offshore · cliffs shelter some sw wind and low tide preferred form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 1.0–7.0 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

03

This is an advanced profile: positioning, entry and exit should be assessed before committing. Pay particular attention to extreme swell size, rock-lined entry and exit, long paddle and current. Local signs and advice always take priority.
