Where to surf in Venezuela
Venezuela suffers from a due north aspect with filtered swell and is not the most promising of South American destinations. Recent political and civil upheaval doesn’t help.
Isla Margarita and Sucre
Isla Margarita bridges the gap between the Caribbean islands and the South American continental landmass in Sucre state.
Caracas
Catastrophic mudslides in 1999 buried whole towns and the coast around the capital city of Caracas has remained a bit of a wreck ever since. More recently political and socio-economic upheaval has resulted in travel warnings being issued, but there are some good waves to be found for the more adventurous.
Located 120km directly offshore of Caracas the scattered islands and reefs of the Los Roques National Park offers an unexplored playground for travelling yachties.
