The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Chacopata.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a real flat spell ahead. We’re looking at a long run of days with barely a ripple. There’s a gap of pretty much nothing surfable from the start of the outlook all the way through. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a solid 5° colder than usual for this time of year – that’s a proper chill, you’ll feel it.
The first time we see any surf at all is on the 27th of July, Monday afternoon, and it’s a grim one. Swell is a measly 1 ft from the NE with a period of only 3 seconds – that’s just wind chop. The wind is onshore at 12 mph, and the combined energy is a pathetic 3. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine. It’s a no-go.
The pattern doesn’t improve. The next few days are more of the same: tiny 1.0 ft to 2 ft swell, periods stuck at 2 to 3 seconds, and relentless onshore winds from the NE or ENE cranking at 15 to 22 mph. The combined energy stays in the single digits, peaking at a feeble 9 on the 3rd of August Monday afternoon. What’s there is blown out, choppy, and basically useless for a paddle.
Given the consistent onshore wind and the tiny, weak swell, honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re looking to get wet with a board under your arm, you’re out of luck.
The best of a bad bunch, if you can even call it that, is likely the 2nd of August Sunday afternoon. The swell nudges up to 2 ft from the ENE, still with a short 3-second period, and the combined energy gets to 8. But the wind is still a fresh onshore 19 mph. It’s not gonna be good, just the least bad option.
There isn’t a single standout in this 16-day window. It’s a flat, blown-out run. Chacopata is a consistent reef break normally, but not this time. We just have to wait for the next change.
Rusty.

Information about the Chacopata Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Chacopata provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Chacopata can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Chacopata surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Chacopata) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Chacopata may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
