The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, because I’m looking at a pretty bleak stretch for Chacopata here. Honestly, the entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’re talking a solid 16 days of next to nothing on offer.
The pattern starts now and it’s all the same story: tiny, weak windswell from the ENE or NE, with piss-poor energy. The onshore wind is a constant problem, mostly a moderate to fresh breeze, and sometimes even a strong breeze, meaning the surface is either lumpy or just messy. The combined swell energy never gets out of the single digits (1), and the swell heights are mostly a pathetic 1 ft to 2 ft. The first few days, from Thursday 6th August right through, are hopeless. The swell periods are short, 2 to 3 seconds, so there’s no grunt, just closeouts if anything breaks at all.
There are a couple of days, like Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th August, where the swell period jumps to 9 seconds, but the swell height is still a tiny 0.3 ft and the energy is only (3). The wind is still onshore and strong, so it’s not going to do anything. The break style at Chacopata is a reef, but with that kind of lack of size and constant onshore wind, it’s not going to turn on. The best you could hope for is a bit of a knee-high slop, and even that’s a stretch. There are no standout options, no true good days. The only thing that might be working is if you’ve got a kite, because with that wind and small, poor quality surf, it’s a far more interesting proposition than trying to paddle.
Forget the board for a while, mate. This is a blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, that’s all there is.

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.
