The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch.
Well, to be honest, it’s a bit of a grim outlook for the next couple of weeks at Chirere. This is a reef break that needs a clean window to shine, and we’re just not getting it. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out run of mostly poor surf conditions. There’s a gap right from the start, with nothing worthwhile on offer for the first few days. The first hint of something rideable doesn't show up until Monday the 14th of September, and even then it’s just “surfable but very ordinary”.
The pattern is pretty stubborn: a series of weak, short-period swells (around 6 to 7 seconds) mixing with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds. For most of this run, the energy is weak to moderate, with the combined swell energy sitting between 96 and 189. It’s just not bringing any proper power or shape.
The only real standout I can point you to is Saturday the 19th of September, in the morning. For a brief moment, we get a pulse of energy (combined swell energy of 212) pushing about 5 feet from the ENE. More importantly, the wind is light and offshore from the ESE, which should peel that reef open with clean walls. It’s not a monster, but it’ll be the best we see in this entire window. Given it’s a fairly consistent spot, the chance of a decent session is there, but stay sharp – it might get a little busy as word gets out, as it can get crowded here sometimes.
After that brief highlight, it drops straight back into the same tired pattern of weak swells and choppy conditions for the rest of the second week. Not much else to get excited about.
So, in short: wait it out until the morning of the 19th of September for the cleanest bet. The rest is just noise.
Stay patient,
Rusty.

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.
