The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same stretch in feet and Fahrenheit.
Right off the bat, it’s pretty bleak. The first wave worth mentioning isn’t until the morning of Sunday, August 30th, and even that’s just passable. There’s a long stretch of days where you’d be better off staying on the beach. The forecast is full of poor surf, so you’ll be waiting a while.
The one half-decent window looks like Saturday, September 6th in the morning. A clean cross-off wind from the ESE will smooth things out, and you’ve got swell around 3ft from the NE, but it doesn’t have much punch – combined energy is only 112. It’ll be rideable, just nothing to write home about. That said, after so many flat days, it might be worth a look.
The only break in the surf forecast is Chirere, a reef setup that breaks fairly consistently but can get a few heads out in the water. It’s best when the swell comes from the NNE, and this ENE swell is a bit off. The water temp is 82°, which is just about normal for this time of year.
Monday, September 7th morning also shows a little more size – about 5ft from the ENE, combined energy of 228 – but it’s still only marginal. Wind is cross, so expect some chop on the face. Not a stand-out, but probably the best of a poor bunch.
Overall, it’s a rough stretch. The reef at Chirere isn’t going to fire with these small, weak swells. If you’re into kite surfing, some of those afternoons with a moderate breeze and cross-onshore wind might be more fun than trying to paddle.
Forecasts can change, so don’t write it off completely.

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.
