Table - best surf conditions forecast for Chirimena over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the skinny on Chirimena. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this stretch of the next 16 days is a tough one. The swell is coming in from the NNE, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but that’s where the good news pretty much ends. The water temperature is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no wetsuit worries there.
The forecast is a long, drawn-out affair of mostly poor surf and marginal conditions. We’re looking at small, short-period windswell for the bulk of the window. The first bit of anything that even gets a "marginal" nod is Thursday morning, the 9th of July. The swell is a weak 5 ft from the NE, but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 12 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is a weak 274, so it’s not packing any punch. It’s a tiny, clean wave for the dedicated.
Friday morning the 10th sees a bump in energy to 676 (moderate), with the swell up to 6 ft from the ENE, but the cross-shore wind and risk of thunderstorms will mess with the surface. Definitely not a standout.
The best of a bad bunch, and I mean the only real standout, comes on Saturday morning, the 11th of July. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the NE, a light cross-shore breeze from the E at 9 mph, and the combined energy is a modest 223. The wave comment calls it "marginal," but given the rest of the forecast, this is the cleanest, most manageable window. It’s small, but it’s your best shot at a few clean ones without too much hassle.
The rest of the period is a wasteland of poor surf, choppy onshore winds, and very ordinary conditions. There’s a brief moment on Monday morning, the 20th of July, with a clean 4 ft swell and light cross-offshore wind, but the energy is a weak 150. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Overall, this is a lean period. If you’re desperate, Saturday morning the 11th is your only real look. Otherwise, save your energy. The consistency is there, but the quality is not. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

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.
