Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim stretch coming up at Chacopata. Over the whole 16-day window, the surf is just not showing up. There’s nothing on the cards that’s worth getting excited about – barely a ripple to speak of. The first few days are a write-off, and the pattern doesn't really change. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with no real standouts.
From Friday the 10th right through to Saturday the 25th, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly 1 ft to 2 ft, with periods as short as 2 to 4 seconds, so it’s just weak, sloppy wind chop. The combined energy readings are all in the weak range, with values like 1, 3, and 5, rarely hitting 10. The wind is a constant problem too – blowing straight onshore from the ENE or NE at 15 to 25 mph, making everything a mess. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but honestly, with conditions this poor, you’re not missing much.
There’s not a single day I’d point you towards. The swell is too small, the wind is too strong, and the quality is consistently poor. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the absolute best you’ll see is a 2 ft NE swell with a 4-second period on the afternoon of Friday the 17th, but even that’s with a fresh onshore breeze. It’s just not surfable. For a reef break that’s consistent, this is a real bummer. Sometimes the area goes quiet, and this is one of those times. Keep the board in the garage and wait for a change in the forecast.
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.
