Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Chacopata over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of coastline is looking flat and pretty lifeless for the entire forecast window. There’s no good surf to chase. The water temperature is sitting at about 77°F, which is actually a bit colder than usual for this time of year – about 3°F cooler, so you’ll feel that if you’re out there not doing much.
Looking from Thursday afternoon, July 2nd all the way through to Friday afternoon, July 17th, we’re talking two full weeks with barely a ripple. The swell is tiny, mostly coming from the ENE and NE, with heights bouncing around 0.7ft to 2ft and periods so short they’re basically useless – around 2 to 3 seconds. The combined swell energy is pathetic, hitting single-digit numbers like 1, 2, or 4 (weak energy). That’s not surf, that’s just lake chop.
The wind is a major problem too. For the vast majority of these days, it’s blowing onshore from the ENE and NE at a solid 12 to 22 mph – that’s a fresh breeze that’ll mess up anything that tries to stand up. The only real standout in the whole two weeks is on Thursday morning, July 9th and Friday morning, July 10th, where the wind goes cross-onshore, but with waves still at 1.0ft, there’s nothing to ride. A couple of mornings (Sunday July 12th, Monday July 13th, and Friday July 17th) show a tiny 0.3ft pulse with a period of 8 seconds, but with wind still blowing onshore at 16 to 19 mph, it’s just not worth suiting up for.
This is a reef break that’s consistent, but with no swell, that consistency means nothing. The break is exposed, but there’s no swell to expose. It’s usually best with swell from the NE, but we’re not getting any of that in a meaningful way. This spot can get crowded sometimes, but honestly, with surf this bad, you’ll have the place to yourself.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, your board is staying on the rack. This stretch is a total blank. If you’re looking for something to do, the NE and ENE winds at 12 to 22 mph over this reef setup might actually be more interesting for a kite – but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking grim.
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.
Chacopata is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of El Guamache. If you plan a holiday in Sucre, look for hotels and other accommodation in El Guamache. El Guamache has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
