About This Spot
Mamani is a beach break located on Chile's northern Pacific coast, featuring a northwest-facing sandy beach with visible rocky formations both in the nearshore zone and along the inland boundary. The spot sits along an open-ocean coastline with moderate wave exposure. The imagery reveals a relatively sheltered setting with shallow water near shore and irregular bottom features that suggest complex water movement patterns. Wind reliability is extremely low (1.8%), making consistent conditions rare. The modest average wave height of 1.71m and low wind speed (5.6 knots) indicate this is a mellower spot suited to beginners and intermediates seeking small-wave practice. Best conditions occur with northeast winds providing side-shore flow. The presence of visible rocky structures requires careful navigation of entry and exit points. Water conditions appear rough despite modest swell heights, likely due to wind-driven chop and the uneven nearshore bathymetry. This spot is best approached during the limited windows when wind direction aligns favorably and wave activity exceeds the typical low baseline.
