Atacama coastal formations with famous Neogene marine vertebrate deposits and documented large shark teeth.
Solid hunting day. Light SE winds (4 mph) — calm surface, easy spotting; seas 7 ft+ — murky and choppy.
Heads up: 7 ft seas — visibility will be poor; consider another day.
Next 3 days: Next few days look steady — all good-range. Pick whatever fits your schedule.
This site does not depend on a tidal low. Hunt during the coolest, brightest part of the day and use the wind and conditions notes below.
Impact on visibility and stir-up over the next 5 days.
The Hunt Score blends tide range, lunar phase, daylight timing, recent stir, wind setup, and surf.
Solid. Reliable productivity expected.
We are deliberate about which factors to include. These are not currently in the model:
If you think we should add one of these, log a hunt with notes — every rated outcome helps us decide which signals actually predict tooth count.
Target legal exposures and guided local operators; coastal desert conditions demand logistics and heat planning.
Variable by locality; many productive areas are best approached with local guidance.
Confirm site status and collecting permissions before fieldwork; regulations vary by locality and land control.
Trophy = headline find · Rare = real score · Uncommon = some trips · Common = most trips.
The beachcomber's bonus round — what else the geology gives up.
