Alright, let me size it up for Chirimena.
Right now there’s nada. Nothing to get wet for. The first few days are a bust. You’re gonna have to sit tight until around Friday July 5th before anything even remotely rideable shows up. That’s a long dry spell from the start.
Friday July 5th – Sunday July 7th
Friday morning finally gives us a 3ft ENE swell with a short 6-second interval, but the wind swings offshore from the south at 6 mph, leaving it glassy. That’s your best early chance. Water’s 80°F – about normal. The combined energy is weak, just 120. Tiny but clean. Saturday morning has a 3ft ENE swell with cross-off wind from the ESE at 6 mph, so also clean. Again, small and weak.
Monday July 8th – Wednesday July 10th
Monday morning brings 4ft ENE swell but cross-shore wind – bumpy. Not good. Tuesday morning has 4ft NE swell with cross-off ESE wind giving clean but short-period (7s) waves. By Thursday July 9th, size bumps to 6ft ENE in the morning, period 8s, but cross-shore wind from the east – messy. Energy hits 531 – moderate. Still marginal.
Friday July 10th – Sunday July 12th
Friday July 10th morning has 6ft ENE swell, 8s period, cross-shore. Energy 412. Afternoon gets 671 energy – more push – still cross-shore. Bigger, but not clean. Saturday and Sunday drop to 5ft and 5ft, still cross-shore or cross-on. Not good shape.
Best on offer
No standout by a long shot. The cleanest waves will be on the mornings of Friday July 5th and Saturday July 6th – tiny but glassy. For size, Thursday July 9th morning has 6ft but dirty. Friday July 10th morning has 6ft but cross-shore.
Chirimena is a beach-and-reef set-up, and we’re getting short-period windswell from ENE and NE, not the optimum NNE. That mismatch is killing quality.
Beginners, stick to the sub-5ft clean mornings – July 5th and 6th. Anything over 5ft (like July 9-10) gets rough and choppy – more for experts or maybe kite-surfing on those windier afternoons.
Not a great run, but it won’t stay this flat forever. Keep checking.
Stay stoked,
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.
