The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've been staring at the charts for Chacopata and, well, it's a tough stretch. The truth is, for the entire 16-day run starting now, we’ve got nothing that I’d call a proper surf. It's a long, flat spell.
The main issue is that the wind is just relentless. It’s blowing from the NE or ENE, which is straight onshore here, at 15 to 28 mph. That's a fresh to strong breeze most days, and it’s killing any chance of a clean face. The swell is tiny—we’re lucky to see 2 ft. The periods are super short too, mostly 2 to 3 seconds, so there's no real energy behind it. The combined energy of all swells is pathetic, barely hitting double digits most of the time (1 to 8). It's a total write-off.
We’ve got a solid run of "poor surf conditions" across the board. From August 1st right through to August 16th, every session is marked as poor. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. The water is 78°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, but you won't be getting in the water anyway.
For a spot like Chacopata, a reef break that’s consistent, it’s a real bummer to see nothing on offer. But when the wind is howling onshore and the swell is this weak, you just have to call it what it is: a flat spell. It’s the kind of run where you’d be better off saving your energy. Keep an eye on the charts, though, because it never stays this poor for too long around here.
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.
