Surf-default-break-image
Name: Infernillo
Type: reef and point
Reliability: consistent
Best Swell: SW Offshore Wind: E

Infernillo in Santiago is an exposed reef and point break that has consistent surf. Winter is the best time of year for surfing here. Works best in offshore winds from the east. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the southwest. A left hand reef break and there is a left hand point break too. Best around high tide. It's sometimes crowded here. Rocks are a hazard.
