The bight on the north side of Punta Chivato — the place to shift when the wind goes south.

Practical

Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap label point for Ensenada el Muerto. A 2020 crew anchored in 20 ft and found it good in southerlies (15-18 kn) but rolly with swell overnight; a dinghy landing was unsafe in the sea state. Open to the north. Protection is limited in strong breeze.
