The Wave
Keep the call narrow: east-northeast wind is the ideal direction, low tide is the useful window, and south-southwest swell is the best pulse.
Check the live tide windows in the app to time your session perfectly.
Lineup Guide
The break sits about 3 km from Iquique and sits in the same coastal strip as Huayquique and El Colegio, so it is a practical local forecast spot rather than a mystery reef.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
