About This Spot
La Boca is a bay-style kitesurfing spot located on Chile's central coast, characterized by a northeast-facing shoreline with significant ocean exposure. The spot sits within a natural bay formation with rocky headlands on both sides, creating a semi-protected channel with direct swell access from the Pacific. The visible white water patterns indicate consistent, powerful wave action driven by strong oceanic swells. The bay's configuration provides side-shore conditions when winds blow from the northwest (315°), which aligns with typical Patagonian wind patterns in the region. Water conditions appear rough with substantial wave heights and variable bottom features. The spot requires intermediate skill due to moderate wave size, rocky obstacles, and the need to navigate variable currents within the bay. Access to deep water requires careful entry through the channel. Best conditions occur during spring and summer months with northwest winds. Not suitable for beginners due to wave energy and hazardous bottom features. Kiters should understand current behavior and have solid wave-riding ability.
