The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s a bit of a slow grind here at Chirimena (beach and reef). The first week is looking pretty grim. We’ve got some small, weak swell showing up, but the wind is mostly cross or onshore, just chopping it all up. The wave energy is low, with combined energy readings mostly under 100, and often doesn't even have enough push to get excited about. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th are a write-off. Tiny 3ft waves from the NE, and a weak 6-second period, with messy winds.
Thursday 13th we get a little bump in size, but it’s just not clean. The wind stays cross or cross-on, and the swell quality is poor.
Friday 14th feels a little different. Early morning shows a bit of hope. We get a 7ft swell from the ENE, with an 8-second period, and the wind finally goes cross-offshore (from the SE at 12 mph). The combined energy jumps to 553, which is moderate to strong wave energy. The conditions are clean. This is the highlight. It’s still not perfect, but it’s the best looking window all week. For a decent surfer, the morning of Friday 14th is your best bet.
After that, it slides back into mediocrity. The weekend and most of the following week just bring more poor surf with cross and cross-on winds.
Now, there is a glimmer of light at the end of this long tunnel. If you’re patient, look towards Sunday 23rd of August. Early morning brings a 5ft, 6-second period swell from the ENE, combined energy of 337, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph. The guidance says it’s a good session. That’s our second standout, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the forecast.
Monday 26th also has a promising early morning with a 6ft swell and clean cross-off wind, but again, it's a week and a half away.
The biggest takeaway: There’s a couple of sessions that are worth paddling out for, but they are sandwiched between a lot of average to poor surf. Pick your windows wisely.

Information about the Chirimena Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Chirimena provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Chirimena can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Chirimena 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 (Chirimena) 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 Chirimena 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.
Chirimena is 42 km (26 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.
