The Alacrán Peninsula used to be an island before being connected to the land when the port of Arica was built in the ?60s. El Brazo's sand-covered reefbreaks at the northern tip of the island but requires a large swell and SW winds. When on, it's a large tubular A-frame.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
