Spot guide
El Colegio, Iquique is a WSW-facing reef break in Tarapacá, Chile. It picks up swell from S to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 43% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
