Table - best surf conditions forecast for Chacopata over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Chacopata is a tough one. We’re looking at a real flat spell with nothing but onshore wind. There's a gap of several days right from the start with no surf worth mentioning, and that pattern pretty much holds the whole way through.
Right now, it’s all small and sloppy. The wind is hammering onshore from the northeast and east-northeast, which is exactly the wrong direction for this exposed reef. Swell heights are tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, with periods as short as 2 to 3 seconds, meaning no energy. The combined energy is a pathetic 1 to 5 (weak). The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The outlook doesn't improve. Day after day, it's the same story: clear skies or some clouds, but that onshore breeze keeps blowing 15 to 25 mph, keeping the surface chopped and messy. Even into the second week, from around the 23rd of July, we see a tiny pulse of 0.3 ft swell with a period of 8 seconds, which is better period but still no size. The combined energy barely reaches 3 (weak). It’s a tease.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there isn't a single standout. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is non-existent, and the scores are all zeros. This is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area when the wind and swell don't line up. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple, but it won't be any fun. Might be an interesting spot for a kite on a windier day, but for a surfboard? Not a chance.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
