Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: it's a grim outlook for the coming weeks.
We're looking at Chacopata here, a reef setup that usually needs a good push from the NE. But for the next sixteen days, it's a ghost town. There's just nothing doing. The entire forecast window from Tuesday the 7th through to Wednesday the 22nd of July is a write-off. We're talking day after day of "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, if it's there at all. You'll see a few entries with 1 ft or 2 ft, but with period down around 2 to 4 seconds, that's just wind chop, not a wave you want to paddle for. The combined energy barely registers, mostly single-digit values or low double-digits (maxing out at 8 for one afternoon on the 10th), which is about as weak as it gets.
Winds are relentless too, hammering from the ENE or NE at 15 to 25 mph almost every day, and it's almost always onshore or cross-onshore. That means choppy, lumpy, messy conditions. There's not even a whisper of a glassy morning to get excited about.
Honestly, if you're a kitesurfer, the constant strong breeze might look fun. But for a paddle surfer, there's nothing to recommend. This is one of those stretches where the area just shuts down. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave your board at home and go find something else to do for a few weeks.

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.
