The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for La Chocolatera is a tough one. We’ve got a consistent supply of SW swell running through the whole period, but the wind is the real story here, and it’s not a good one. Almost every session is showing onshore wind, which is going to chop things up something fierce. The water is a toasty 78°, which is *far warmer than normal* for this time of year – you can definitely leave the wetsuit at home.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn't come until Thursday, August 14th. The morning of the 14th is looking like the closest thing we have to a standout. We’ve got a 4ft SW groundswell running with a long 17-second period, and the wind is light from the SW at 6 mph, keeping it clean. The combined energy is strong at 900, so there’s definitely some push behind it. This is a point break, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely, giving you longer, more lined-up waves. It’s rated for intermediates, and with the size around 4ft, it’s a good, manageable wave for that level. Just keep in mind it’s an inconsistent spot, so you might be waiting a bit between sets.

Friday the 15th morning is another one to keep an eye on. The swell bumps up slightly to 4ft from the WSW, still with a solid 15-second period and light SW winds. The energy is moderate at 779, but it’s a more promising swell direction for the break. The afternoon chops up again, so get out early.

Beyond that, the rest of the run is a bit of a write-off. The wind stays on it, and the scores are low. The swell sticks around between 2ft and 4ft, but it’s just not going to be clean. The 14th and 15th mornings are your best bet – don’t sleep on them.

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.
