Chile has many beaches for surfing. Although the waves in central Chile are bigger, the waves in the north are stronger and are usually better suited for surfing.
Some of the most popular surfing spots in Chile are:
- Pichilemu: Located south west of Santiago. The town is the host of the annual national championships.
- Arica: Even though there are spots with rocks in the water, the qualification for the national championship takes place there. Waves can get up to 4 meters high.
