Table - best surf conditions forecast for Chacopata over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's call it like I see it. For the next 16 days, starting July 8th, this stretch of coast is going to be a tough one to call a surf trip for. We’re staring down a long run of poor surf conditions, so be prepared to wait it out. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The outlook is grim from the get-go. Wednesday the 8th kicks off with a fresh cross-onshore breeze and lumpy conditions, and there’s barely enough energy to get excited about. The combined energy of the swells hitting the coast is sitting at a weak 0 to 3 (the swell energy is virtually nothing), so you're looking at tiny, wind-affected slop. That theme pretty much holds through the entire first week. Every morning and afternoon from the 8th to the 14th is "poor surf conditions"—onshore winds, weak swell, and chop. A few afternoons push the combined swell energy up to around 5 or 7, but with strong onshore winds and tiny 1ft to 2ft swell, it’s just messy.
Into the second week, starting around the 15th, we see a bit of a change but nothing to get the heart racing. Wednesday the 15th morning is still cross-onshore and lumpy, but the afternoon picks up a little, with the combined energy reaching 10. That’s still very weak, and the swell is only 2ft from the NE with a short period of 4 seconds. The wind is moderate cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and not clean. This is the only sliver of something, but I wouldn't call it a standout. It’s barely a blip. After that, we slide right back into onshore winds and flat, weak conditions through to the 23rd.
There is truly no good surf on offer here in the entire 16-day forecast. It’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the trades are locked in. Don't bother paddling out unless you just want to sit on a board and get blown across the bay.
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.
