The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Chacopata over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a tough stretch.
We’re staring down a 16-day window, but for the first week and a half, there’s barely a ripple worth getting wet for. The whole run from Wednesday, July 29th right through to around Tuesday, August 11th is pretty much a write-off. We’re seeing tiny, weak slop – mostly 0.3 ft to 2 ft – coming from the ENE or NE with shockingly short periods of 2 to 4 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not real swell. The wave energy is laughably weak, barely registering (0 to 10). The wind is hammering onshore from the ENE most of the time at 15 to 25 mph, which just ruins any chance of a clean face. I wouldn’t bother paddling out for this; it’s more of a kiteboarding breeze than a surf session. Water temp is sitting at 78° which is notably cooler than usual for this time of year (anomaly of -3°), so you’ll feel that bite on the rare lull.
We do see a tiny flicker on Thursday morning, August 13th. The swell bumps up slightly with a 0.3 ft wave from the NE, but the period lengthens out to 9 seconds. That’s still very small, but that longer period means a bit more push underneath. Wind eases to a gentle breeze from the NE at 9 mph, blowing onshore. The combined energy is still pitifully low (3). It’s not enough to call a standout.
Honestly, there are no true standouts in this entire forecast. The surf just isn’t there. If you’re desperate, the morning of August 13th is the least terrible option, but keep your expectations on the floor. For a break described as consistent, this is a real dud. Sometimes it goes like this – forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Alright, that’s the long and short of it. Stay patient.
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.
