The Lowdown
Well, I’m gonna level with ya. The next two weeks are pretty grim for any kind of proper wave riding. The forecast is a long, flat, and windy mess right from the start. The shift only brings weak, short-period junk that never really builds into anything worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a solid stretch of zilch before anything even *slightly* interesting shows up on the radar.
The only spot on the menu is Chacopata (Sucre) and honestly, the window looks cooked. The water’s sittin’ at 78°F, which is a bit colder than we’d expect for this time of year. Real shame.
From August 2nd all the way through the first week, forget it. We’ve got onshore wind blowing 12 to 25 mph every day, and the swell never gets above 2 ft from the ENE or NE, with a period of just 3 seconds. That’s pure wind chop. The combined swell energy barely cracks single digits (read: 2 to 9) – it’s weak out there. It might look more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle.
Mid-month doesn’t get any better. Winds stay stiff and onshore, swell stays tiny. Around August 14th and 15th, the wind turns cross-onshore, making conditions choppy and lumpy. The swell is basically non-existent, still under 1 ft. Hardly enough to float a log.
There’s a tiny glimmer on August 16th and 17th. Mornings show a 0.3 ft swell bumping up to an 8-second period from the NE. It’s longer, which gives a little more shape, but it’s so small it’s barely surfable. Combined swell energy hovers at a measly 2. The wind is still onshore at 19 mph, so don’t expect anything clean.
Honest truth? There’s no standout session in this entire 16-day run. It’s a long, dry spell for surf, nothin’ worth getting excited about. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s a bust.

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.
