The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you – for the next 16 days, it’s a flat spell. There’s nothing that’s going to get the heart rate up. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, with no good surf options at all.
Chacopata (reef) is the only game in town, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a persistent, onshore wind from the NE and ENE, blowing at 12 to 28 mph the whole time. The swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.7 ft to 2 ft at best, with a period of just 2 to 3 seconds, which is basically wind chop. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely reaching single digits. The water temperature feels about average for the time of year, but with those conditions, you won’t care.
There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 16th of September where the wind goes light and cross-onshore from the north at 6 mph, with a tiny 0.3 ft swell from the NE and a period of 5 seconds. That’s still a flat, messy nothing. The rest of the time it’s all onshore, and the surf quality is described as “poor.”
This is a blank run, plain and simple. A few of these spots are consistent, but this stretch is just a dud. The only thing that might look interesting here is if the wind picks up, this set-up might be more appealing for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing to ride, so save your energy.

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.
