Matanzas is a beach break located on central Chile's Pacific coastline, approximately 33.96°S latitude. The shore faces northwest toward open ocean, with a sandy beach fronting agricultural and forested terrain inland. The spot features moderate wave exposure with average wave heights around 1.86m, suitable for developing skills. Rocky outcrops punctuate the nearshore zone, creating localized current patterns that require navigation experience. Wind reliability is notably low at 4.9%, with average wind speeds of 5.9 knots—borderline for kitesurfing. Northeast winds (45°) provide ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the beach orientation. Water temperatures average 14.4°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate riders during favorable wind windows, though inconsistent conditions make reliable session planning difficult. Practitioners should scout conditions carefully, be aware of rocky hazards, and time sessions during the more predictable wind periods. Local topography and residential proximity may restrict ideal launch zones.
