The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's call it like it is: the next two weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for Chirere. We've got a long run of weak, short-period swell and the wind is just not cooperating. There are going to be several days in a row where it's just not worth the effort.
The finder is showing a big block of nothing for most of the period. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, chopping everything up. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, a real test of patience.
The only real glimmer of hope comes right at the end. On Sunday, the 24th of August, the morning looks a touch better. Still small, around 4ft, but there's a slight increase in energy (118). Then, the standout is the Monday morning, the 25th of August. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE with a slightly longer period of 7 seconds. The energy is still modest (235), but it's the best we're going to see. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
But honestly, the conditions are mostly poor, with cross and cross-on breezes making things messy. For a spot like this, that's a deal-breaker. I'd be keeping an eye on the long-range models for a shift in the wind, because right now, there's not much to surf. Keep the board in the car, but maybe don't even get it wet.
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.
