The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll give it to you straight – this 16-day stretch for the Chirere area is a real tough nut to crack. We’ve got a solid little reef break, but the conditions just aren’t cooperating for most of the run. The water temp is sitting at a normal 82°F, nothing unusual, but the wind and swell combo is mostly messy.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Wednesday, August 26th, and even then it’s a short window. We’ve got a long gap with no good surf on offer from today through to the end of August. The only standout is that Wednesday morning at Chirere. The swell is coming from the north-east at 5ft with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined wave energy is moderate at 226. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, which will make for some tidy, glassy lines on this reef. It’s a fairly consistent spot, crowds are possible, and the swell direction is close to the optimum NNE. This is the one to aim for – it’s not huge, but it’ll be the best we see.
After that, back into the doldrums. The next tiny flicker is on Monday, August 31st, with a morning session that’s described as “surfable but ordinary.” The swell is 4ft from the ENE, period 6 seconds, and the cross-off wind from the ESE is light at 6 mph, keeping things clean. But the energy is weak at 98, and it’s not going to get the heart pumping. The rest of the forecast is a write-off: cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and inconsistent, weak swell. For a reef break setup like this, it’s not even worth paddling out for most of the time.
So, in short – if you’re keen, pencil in the morning of Wednesday, August 26th at Chirere. That’s your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Information about the Chirere Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Chirere provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Chirere can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Chirere 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 (Chirere) 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 Chirere 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.
Chirere is 41 km (25 miles) from the city of Guatire. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Guatire. Guatire has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
