The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead at Chirere. We’re looking at a long, long run of poor surf conditions that kicks off on Wednesday the 15th and doesn't really let up for over a week. The swell is there, but it’s weak, short-period windswell, and the wind is blowing from the wrong angles, keeping things messy and choppy. The waves are small, the energy is low, and the conditions are just not lining up for a decent paddle. The water temp is sitting right on average for this time of year at 80°, so nothing unusual there.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. We get a bit of a clean-up with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, finally giving us some cleaner faces. The swell is a weak 5 ft from the NE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 194. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s surfable – just very ordinary. The morning of Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th also offer a few clean-ish windows with light winds, but the swell is even smaller, dropping to 4 ft and 4 ft. These are your best bets, but only just.
If you’re desperate for a knee-high wave with clean conditions, the mornings of the 22nd, 25th, and 26th are the only times to even consider it. The rest of the period is a write-off, with mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore winds and choppy, uninviting water. The morning of the 30th shows a slight bump in swell energy (204) with a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s still marginal.
Overall, there’s no standout day here. The swell is too weak and short-period to generate any real power, and the winds are against us most of the time. 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.
