Ritoque in Santiago is an exposed beach break that has quite consistent surf. Winter is the favoured time of year for surfing here. The best wind direction is from the east. Most of the surf here comes from groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. Waves at the beach are both lefts and rights. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Submerged rocks are a hazard.
