The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Chacopata over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions and onshore winds that just won’t let up. The water temp is running about 79°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a little extra rubber if you’re heading out.
The first real chance of anything surfable is a long way off, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. From now through to the end of August, and well into the first week of September, it’s basically a no-go. The swell is tiny, the period is short and weak, and we’ve got a moderate to fresh breeze blowing onshore from the NE or ENE every single day. The combined wave energy is rarely above 5 (weak), and most of the time it’s a big fat zero. You’d be wasting your time paddling out.
We finally see a tiny blip on Tuesday morning, 1st September. Chacopata will see a small swell pushing in from the East. It’s only 0.7ft, but the period jumps up to 10 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, which is interesting. The wind is a gentle breeze from the NE, still onshore, but light enough that it might not totally wreck it. The combined energy is still very low at 8, so it’ll be weak, but those long-period lines might offer a few fun little waves on the reef if you’re desperate and have a longboard. Still, with the direction being E and the optimum being NE, it’s not a perfect match.
Honestly, there are no standouts in this forecast. The only day worth even a passing mention is that Tuesday 1st September morning, but it’s a real marginal call. For the rest of the 16-day window, you’re looking at a lot of blank days. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent onshore wind.

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.
