Further down the seafront road are more reefs and Playa Cavancha, a beach break, which is usually just a big closeout. On a regulation 4-6ft (1-2m) swell, most of the reefs work, with the best waves usually being rights. Even further south are more exposed beaches, Huayquique is only worth checking on small swells with light winds.

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.
