There was a yellow alert but in the end it was back to waiting for Lobos por Siempre, one of the big wave events that has generated the most expectations regionally in recent years.

There was no tournament, but one of the best free surfing sessions of the year did take place, with several of the best wave riders in the water.

Below is the evidence, through the lens of local journalist Rodrigo Farías Moreno.

The wait continues for the South Pacific to ignite and a bomb to explode in Punta de Lobos, and, finally, the tournament to be launched.
