The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real about Todasana. It’s a reef and point set-up that’s pretty consistent, but man, the next couple of weeks are looking like a write-off for any real surfing. The water’s sitting at 81°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least the temps are comfortable.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s basically nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for. We’re staring down a long stretch of poor conditions. The start of the period is a total blank, and it just keeps rolling that way. From the 17th through the 24th, it's all poor surf. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is constantly messing it up. The energy is weak to moderate at best, with readings like 168 and 141 on the 17th, and then it drops right down to 81 on the 18th. It’s just not happening.
The wind is the main culprit. It’s coming from the east and ENE, which is cross-onshore or just cross for the most part. That’s putting chop on everything. The swell direction is all over the shop, shifting between NE and ENE, but the period is stuck at 6-8 seconds, which is just short-period windslop. There’s no power behind it.
We do see a little bump in energy around the 25th, where the numbers jump to 319 on the Tuesday morning. But even then, it’s a no-go. The wave comment still flags it as poor, and the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s a tease.
For the beginners out there, none of this is too big, so that’s not the issue. The problem is just that it’s messy and weak. This isn’t a time to be fighting for scraps. Honestly, with the onshore wind and short-period slop, this looks like it might be more interesting for the kite crowd than us paddle surfers.
Looking further out, the second week doesn’t offer any salvation. It’s more of the same, with conditions staying poor right through to the 1st of September. There is one moment on the 25th where that energy jumps to 319, but the quality isn’t there. The wind will just chop it all up.
So, if you were hoping for a session, you’re going to be waiting a while. This is shaping up to be a proper blank run. It’s a bummer, but the forecast can always change. When it’s this consistently poor, it doesn’t usually stay that way for long, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.

Information about the Todasana Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Todasana provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Todasana can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Todasana 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 (Todasana) 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 Todasana 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.
Todasana is 20 km (12 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.
