The Lowdown
Right, it’s a slow start for the Cuyagua reef (Venezuela). For the next few days, those trade winds are going to mess things up. That ENE swell is coming in, but it’s got short, weak period on it, and most of the time we’re looking at a cross or cross-onshore breeze that’ll chop things up. Not much to get excited about.
Come Wednesday afternoon, September 16th, we start to see a little bump. Swell gets up to 6ft from the ENE, but the period is still short at 6 seconds, and with a cross-shore wind of 9 mph it’s only going to be marginal. The combined energy is moderate at 209, but it’s not going to be clean. That same pattern hangs around through the end of the week into the weekend. The morning windows on the 18th and 19th have a bit of an offshore from the north, but the swell is still short-period and the energy is only just getting into the low 200s. It’s going to be tricky to find a decent one.
The real standout is the morning of Monday, September 21st. The wind goes glassy – that’s a major positive – with a light offshore from the NW at 3 mph. The swell is small, only 3ft from the ENE, but for that break, with conditions that clean, it’ll be the most fun you’ll have all week. The combined energy is weak at 68, so don't expect power, but the lack of wind will make it rideable and pleasant.
After that, we go through another run of poor conditions until the morning of Sunday, September 27th. The swell is 4ft from the ENE and it’s dead calm, glassy conditions again. That’s a rare treat. The combined energy is moderate at 164, and while the period is still short, the clean surface will make all the difference. That’s your second best bet. After that, the week closes out with more of the same onshore winds and poor surf.
Crowds are a possibility at Cuyagua, as it can get busy sometimes. Water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year.

Information about the Cuyagua Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cuyagua provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cuyagua can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cuyagua 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 (Cuyagua) 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 Cuyagua 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.
Cuyagua is 22 km (14 miles) from the city of Mariara. If you plan a holiday in Zona del Centro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mariara. Mariara has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
