Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s be straight with you. This is a tough stretch for Chacopata. Over the next 16 days, there’s barely a pulse in the water. The first real chance of anything even rideable doesn’t pop up until Saturday morning the 4th of July, and even then it’s just 2ft of weak, short-period windswell out of the NE with a period of only 3 seconds. The combined swell energy is next to nothing (5), and the wind is howling onshore at 16 mph – not surfable in any meaningful way.
The pattern stays grim. Most days through mid-July are plagued by onshore winds, mostly from the ENE or NE, often 12–22 mph. The swell is tiny – usually 1ft to 2ft – with periods of just 2 to 4 seconds. Combined energy values hover between 1 and 8, which is as weak as it gets. Monday morning the 6th of July offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with a 0.3ft, 8-second swell, but that’s more like a lake ripple than a wave. The afternoon goes flat again.
There’s a real void here. From the 8th of July right through to the end of the 16-day window, there’s nothing that comes close to a decent surf. Nearly every row is marked “poor surf conditions” with scores of zero. Crowds aren’t even a concern because nobody’s paddling out. The wind stays messy, and the swell is just too small and weak to push through. This reef break (Chacopata) is consistent normally, but this forecast is a dead run. For a spot that’s supposed to be consistent, this is a long, quiet stretch.
If you’re desperate, the only thing close to a highlight is the glassy 0.3ft, 8-second pulse on Monday the 6th – but really, that’s for a flat day paddle. Otherwise, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing when the wind cranks, but for a surfer? There’s nothing to get excited about. Water temperature is 78°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 2°F below average.
Hang tight. Forecasts can shift, but as it stands, we’re looking at a long, flat spell.

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.
Chacopata is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of El Guamache. If you plan a holiday in Sucre, look for hotels and other accommodation in El Guamache. El Guamache has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
