La Chocolatera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This 16-day forecast is a real mix of small, clean fun and some proper pulses of energy. The start is slow and glassy, perfect for the longboard, but the real standouts are a few specific sessions, not the whole stretch. Just remember, most of this period is about being patient and picking the right tide.

First up, let’s talk about La Chocolatera for the Tuesday afternoon session. It’s a point break, and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be doing a lot of sitting and waiting. But when a set rolls through, it’ll be clean, little peelers. Swell is only 1ft from the southwest with a 15-second period. There’s some age in the water, but the energy is weak at 173. Winds are a gentle 9 mph offshore, which is always a good thing. Water temp is 79°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can get away with a thinner suit.

Wednesday stays small with the same 1ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore in the afternoon, making things a bit lumpy. Not ideal for a clean session. Thursday sees a bump to 2ft, but the energy is still weak at 207. The morning is clean with light offshore winds, so it’s a good day to work on your turns. No real power there.

Then the weekend starts to show some life. Friday the 28th is where things change. The morning has 4ft from the west-southwest and the energy is moderate at 869. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft with energy at 1261, and suddenly it’s not just about finesse, it’s about commitment. It’s still a bit onshore, but the swell is solid. This is a marginal call, tide-dependent, for sure.

Saturday the 29th is the one to circle on the calendar. Morning surf hits 5ft from the southwest with a 15-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1119, and with light offshore winds, La Chocolatera has the potential to be proper. This is a point break, and with that longer period, it will handle this groundswell beautifully. This is the pick of the first week, no two ways about it. The afternoon backs off a touch and the onshore wind picks up, so the morning is the time. It’s pushing into the size where beginners will find it challenging, but for the experienced surfer, this is your session.

After that, we settle back into small, average conditions for a template of days. Sunday the 30th has 4-4ft but the energy drops way back and the winds are more onshore. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st are back down to 3ft with weak energy and not much quality. This is a flat, mediocre stretch.

The next real pump of energy shows up on Friday, September 4th. We get 5ft from the southwest with strong energy again, hitting 1370 in the morning. It’s a similar setup to the 29th, with clean morning winds. This one is a promising call, but it’s over a week away, so treat it as a promising but less certain. The 9th of September also looks like it could push 5ft with solid energy, but it’s too far out to get hyped about.

So, to sum it up: your best bet in this entire 16-day window is the Saturday the 29th morning session. That’s the standout. The morning of the 4th of September is the next best thing, but it’s a long-range call. Everything else is just small and clean, or a bit of a washout. And if the wind gets up with no swell, the setup at this beach break is gonna look a lot more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle surfers.

Keep your eye on that weekend. Rusty.
