The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, looking at this 16-day window for Chacopata, it’s a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, quiet stretch with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water’s sitting at 80°, which feels a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit for comfort.
The pattern is pretty grim from the start. For Thursday the 3rd, we’ve got tiny dribbles of swell, like 1ft to 2ft from the ENE and NE, but with a pitiful period of just 2 to 3 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s just bump. The wind is blowing straight onshore at 12-16 mph, and the combined energy is barely a whisper, sitting at 1 to 4. It’s a no-go.
Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are even worse, with swells dropping to zero for most of the day. We get a little blip of 1ft to 1ft on Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon, but it’s the same story: onshore wind and zero energy. This flat spell drags on through the entire first week. From Sunday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 11th, the morning sessions are consistently flat, and the afternoons offer nothing but weak, short-period slop (1ft to 2ft) under strong, onshore breezes. The energy readings never crack double digits—the highest is a measly 14 on Monday afternoon.
The second week doesn't offer any salvation. From Thursday the 12th to Thursday the 18th, it’s the same old tune. Morning sessions are flat, and afternoon slop of 1ft to 2ft gets hammered by fresh to strong onshore winds. On Sunday the 14th, we get a brief moment of cross-shore wind from the SE, but the swell is still a pathetic 1ft with 3-second period. Honestly, the whole setup looks way more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle in their hand.
There is simply no standout day, no hidden gem, no moment to recommend. It’s a complete blank run. For Chacopata, a dry spell like this isn't unheard of, but it’s a tough pill to swallow. Forecasts can change, but right now, save your wax.

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.
