The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Well, I gotta be honest with you, looking at the next 16 days for Chacopata, it’s a bit of a tough one. The forecast is basically a long flat spell with nothing but onshore wind and tiny, weak waves. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year.
We kick off on Tuesday, July 21st, but there’s no surf to talk about. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat zero (0). It’s the same story through Wednesday, Thursday, and all the way to the end of the month. The wind is blowing onshore from the NE and ENE, mostly at 12 to 22 mph, which just chops up anything that tries to form. The swell heights are tiny, between 0.3 ft and 2 ft, with periods of 2 to 3 seconds – that’s pure wind slop. The energy levels are in the single digits, like 1, 3, or 8 (weak energy), which is just not enough to push a wave.
Moving into the first week of August, the pattern doesn’t change. From Saturday, August 1st, through to Wednesday, August 5th, it’s more of the same: onshore breezes, flat spells, and those tiny 0.3 ft to 2 ft waves with hardly any energy (2 to 5). The only break here is Chacopata, a reef setup that’s exposed, but with the wind blowing straight onshore and the swell coming from the wrong direction (NE), it’s not going to work. The optimum swell direction is from the NE, but the wind is also from the NE, so it’s a washout. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a stretch where you’d be better off finding something else to do. The surf is poor across the board, and the break is consistent but the conditions are just wrong. It’s a blank run for the area, and that’s just how it goes sometimes.

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.
