The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at La Chocolatera over the next couple of weeks.

I’m going to level with you – it’s not a great stretch for this point. We’ve got swell from the southwest, but the wind is mostly onshore, making it tough. The one real highlight is right at the start.

On Saturday, September 5th, we see a morning pulse of swell around 5ft from the southwest, with a very long 15 second period – that’s proper groundswell, with energy reading at 1027 (moderate). The wind is onshore from the southwest at 9 mph, so the surface will be bumpy. For a point break that loves this direction, there’s quality in the water, but it won’t be glassy. This is the best window in the whole 16-day forecast. Expect crowds sometimes – it’s a known spot.

After that, it’s downhill. Sunday the 6th drops to about 4ft in the morning, energy falls to 639 (moderate). The wind stays onshore, and by afternoon it’s cross-onshore and choppy – a total washout.

Monday the 7th is smaller, around 3ft, though we get a nice 18 second period in the afternoon. But again, the onshore wind ruins the surface. Tuesday and Wednesday see the swell bump up to about 4ft on Thursday morning with 16 second period, but the onshore breeze (9 mph from the southwest) doesn’t let the point clean up.

From the 11th through the 20th, we’re in a slump. Swell drops under 3ft, energy values are mostly weak (300–500 range), and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

Remember, La Chocolatera is an inconsistent spot, so a long wait like this isn’t unusual. If you don’t hit Saturday morning, you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for the next two weeks.

Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change, but right now it’s a one-day show.

Rusty.

Information about the La Chocolatera Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for La Chocolatera provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Chocolatera can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Chocolatera 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 (La Chocolatera) 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 La Chocolatera 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.
