Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Chacopata.
It’s a bit of a struggle looking out over the next couple of weeks, to be honest. We’ve got a real quiet spell for the surf. The forecast shows a gap right from the start, with no decent waves on offer. From Monday the 6th of July all the way through to the end of the forecast period on Monday the 21st of July, every single report is flagged with poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day stretch of flat or tiny, crummy waves.
Chacopata (Venezuela) is a consistent reef break that loves swell from the NE, and the water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild to report. But the problem is the swell just isn’t there. The biggest we see is a measly 2 ft on a couple of afternoons – Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th of July – but it's coming from the ENE with a period of only 3 seconds. That’s pure wind chop with combined energy in the low single digits (8). The wind is blowing onshore from the ENE at 19 to 25 mph, so it’s going to be messy, bumpy, and just not worth paddling out for.
The rest of the period is even smaller, with either no measurable swell or tiny waves around 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The wind hardly ever lets up, almost always onshore or cross-onshore, with speeds staying in the 12-22 mph range. There is no standout session here. Nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, no good surf options in the 16-day window. With an exposed reef and that constant onshore wind, the setup looks like it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang in there – forecasts can always change.
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.
