Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. This is a tough one for the Chacopata area. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I’ve got to be honest with you – there’s just nothing to get excited about. The surf is basically flat or running tiny, junky lines from the wrong direction, and the wind is almost always blowing straight onshore. It’s a real bummer.
We start off Thursday, July 9th, with a tiny 0.7ft windswell from the ENE, and it’s junk. Winds are 15 to 22 mph blowing straight on, making it messy. This same pattern drags on through Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – tiny swell, if any at all, with onshore breezes. The combined wave energy is barely a whisper, with values like 1 to 5 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s a real write-off for the first week.
There’s a small shift on Monday, July 21st, but it’s not a good one. The wind turns cross-onshore from the ESE and ENE, and we’re still looking at tiny 1ft to 2ft waves. The wave comment says “moderate cross-onshore and choppy,” which is just not what you want to paddle into. The period is short, around 2 to 3 seconds, so there’s no push.
The most promising blip is on Sunday, July 19th, when we see a 0.3ft swell from the NE with a 8-second period, giving a combined energy of 3. That’s a tiny little groundswell pulse, but it’s still a joke. The wind is still onshore at 19 mph, so it’s going to be blown out. The rest of the second week is more of the same: tiny flat spells and onshore wind.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in this whole run. For a consistent reef break like Chacopata, this is a rare blank period. The forecast often changes, and it won’t stay this poor for long, but right now, I’d say leave the board at home. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high slop on one of the Thursday afternoons, but that’s it.

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.
