The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty average overall for Chirimena. We’ve got waves, but they’re not exactly firing. There’s a bit of a wait for anything that gets the heart pumping. The swell energy is mostly moderate, and a lot of the time the wind is going to be messing things up. The cleanest windows are the mornings, especially the ones with that cross-offshore breeze, but they’re few and far between.
Starting off, Wednesday the 5th is just ordinary. We’ve got a 3ft ENE swell with a short 6-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 122. It’s clean in the morning, but there’s not much push to it. The afternoon goes downhill with a cross-on wind chopping it up.
Thursday the 6th and into the weekend is pretty poor. The swell bumps up a bit, with Thursday morning seeing 4ft at 7 seconds (156 energy), and Friday morning hitting 6ft (241 energy). But the wind is cross or cross-on, making for a messy, bumpy surface. It’s not really worth the paddle. This trend continues through the weekend and into early next week. There are some clean-ish moments, like Monday the 10th morning with a 4ft NE swell (128 energy) and a cross-off breeze, but it’s still just very ordinary.
The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 17th of August. That morning, we see a jump in size and energy. The swell is 6ft from the ENE with a slightly longer 8-second period. But the big story is the energy – that’s a strong 562. The wind is light and cross with just a few ripples. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best on offer in the whole window. The afternoon still has decent energy (520) but the wind picks up, making it cross and choppier.
The rest of the second week is more of the same. Tuesday the 18th has a clean morning with a 5ft ENE swell (230 energy) and a cross-off wind, but it’s not nearly as exciting as the day before. After that, we’re back to the average stuff, with the swell dropping slightly and the winds staying cross or cross-on. That Monday morning, the 17th, is your best bet. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real window with some punch and a clean enough surface.
For this break, the water temp seems to be running about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

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.
