[quote=Andinista][quote=ctcataman]We are in 4 foot swells often. Expect to go slow and get bounced around.
What are you sailing?[/quote]
In Chile, in a small beach called Los Molles. South wind is the norm and the beach faces south, so the waves are big right away (4 to 6 ft seems to be typical). Except from the western end of the beach which is protected, the surf is better suited for surfing than for landing a cat.. plus there are more rocks than sand in general, that's why I set up an anchor.
It's just a bit south of here:

Pichidangui bay is sweet, protected from the waves, but about 15 km away, I prefer to sail at walking distance from home. I used to sail [url=https://es.windfinder.com/forecast/embalse_rapel]here[/url] and [url=https://es.windfinder.com/forecast/coliumo]here[/url], without the waves and with more wind typically, but moved my center of operation.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on Jan 13, 2020 - 09:35 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
