Chirere is a fun beach break east of Caracas near Higuerote, far enough from the capital to avoid the weekend crowds. The north-facing position catches winter swells cleanly, and the sandy bottom makes it forgiving for all levels. A mellow vibe and warm water complete the picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wave is Chirere?

Chirere is a beach break in Miranda, Venezuela, with peaks that run both left and right.

What swell works best at Chirere?

Chirere picks up swell from the NW round to the NNE, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the N. It starts working at around 1m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.7 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 12s or longer, as anything under 8s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

What wind is offshore at Chirere?

A S wind is dead offshore at Chirere, and anything from the SE round to the SW keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 5am to 10am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

What tide is best at Chirere?

Chirere has a preferred tide range, roughly 0.3m to 1.8m on the local chart.

When is the best time of year to surf Chirere?

The most reliable run of swell at Chirere comes Nov to Mar. There's a second window in Sep to Oct too. North-facing coast east of Caracas. Best on rising or falling tide.

How cold is the water at Chirere?

The water at Chirere averages around 27°C, so boardshorts or a rashguard will do. It shifts a few degrees through the year, so check the season before you pack.

Is Chirere good for beginners?

It's more of an intermediate wave, rated 4/10 for difficulty, so newer surfers are best off sticking to the smaller days. The lineup is usually quiet (crowd 3/10). Standard beach break rips.
