The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Marina Grande.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be honest with you – it’s a flat, grim stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions from the start, with a gap of over a week where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The first real flicker of something happening doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Wednesday the 12th, and even then, it’s marginal.
The main issue is the wind. It’s stubbornly stuck in the ENE to E, blowing cross-shore nearly every day, which is just putting a chop on everything. The swell is small and weak, coming from the ENE, and the period is short – around 6 to 7 seconds. That’s just windswell, not groundswell, so the waves are gonna be weak and crumbly, not holding any shape.
The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing crazy to report there.
The Lowdown:
Wednesday 12th, afternoon: This is the only real blip on the radar. We get a tiny window of cleaner conditions. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the ESE, and the wave comment says "clean" for the first time. The swell is a tiny 4ft from the ENE with a short 6-second period, and the combined energy is weak (103). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. For a desperate surfer, this is your best bet, but don’t expect much.
Thursday 14th through Monday 17th: We see a bit more size in the water, with swell heights bumping up to 5ft to 6ft, and the period improving to 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (up to 413). The problem? The wind is still cross-shore from the E at 12-13 mph, making it a choppy mess. The wave comment stays "poor" or "marginal". It’s going to be a battle out there, not a joyride.
The Standout (if you can call it that): Honestly, the only standout is Wednesday afternoon, the 12th. It’s the only time the wind gives us a break. The swell is small, but it’ll be the cleanest wave of the whole run. For a beginner, it’s okay, but for anyone else, it’s slim pickings. The wind is the real story here – it’s just not playing ball.
Stay patient, folks. This is a dry spell. Sometimes you just have to wait for the next system.
Rusty.

Information about the Marina Grande Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Marina Grande provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Marina Grande can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Marina Grande 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 (Marina Grande) 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 Marina Grande 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.
Marina Grande is 1 km (1 miles) from the very large city of Maiquetia. If you plan a holiday in Caracas, look for hotels and other accommodation in Maiquetia. Maiquetia has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as cheap car hire and transport links.
