Chaguarama de Sotillo is a surf spot in Venezuela, located along the Caribbean coast in the state of Anzoátegui. It’s not one of the country’s most famous breaks, but it can offer good waves when swell and wind align.

General surf description

Wave type: Typically a beach break or a mix of sand and reef/rock influence depending on the exact section of coast.
Conditions: Best with a north or northeast swell from the Caribbean and light offshore winds.
Wave quality: Can be fun and punchy on the right day, but conditions may be inconsistent compared with more exposed or well-known spots.
Skill level: Usually better for intermediate surfers, though smaller days may be suitable for beginners if the wave is manageable.

What to expect

Tropical setting, warm water year-round
Potentially uncrowded sessions compared with more famous surf destinations
Local conditions can vary a lot depending on sand movement, swell direction, and seasonal winds

Best time to surf

Generally, the Caribbean swell season and periods of favorable wind are best.
In many parts of Venezuela, surf tends to be better during the northern hemisphere fall and winter when North Atlantic/Caribbean swell activity can pick up.
