The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Chacopata over the next 16 days is a tough one. There’s no real surf to get excited about in this whole stretch. The break is a reef setup, consistent, and it gets the onshore wind from the SW, but the swell just isn’t delivering. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The whole forecast is a flat spell. From Saturday the 8th right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, every single session shows poor surf conditions. The swell heights are tiny – rarely above 1ft to 2ft – with periods as short as 2 to 3 seconds, so it’s just wind chop or no wave energy at all. The combined energy is weak, mostly reading (1) to (8), with plenty of zeros. Winds are onshore, moderate to strong, all day, every day, from the NE or ENE. There’s not a single glassy or offshore window. Even the long period of 10 seconds on the 18th morning is wasted because the swell height is only 0.3ft.
There’s just no standout here. Nothing worth paddling out for. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a real bummer. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with those strong onshore winds, but for surfers, it’s a blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.

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.
