Surf Forecasts:
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are about as flat as a pancake for Ahtopol. There’s not a single surfable wave on the cards from now through to July 25th. I’ve looked through the whole run, and every single session is marked as poor surf conditions with zero combined energy. That’s it. Nothing.
The water at Ahtopol is sitting at 77°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting. You’ll get plenty of glassy mornings on the 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th, and 19th of July, with clean, calm conditions, but there’s simply no swell to push through. A few days, like the 23rd and 24th, see some strong northwesterly winds hitting 19-22 mph, but with no waves, all that does is blow the surface flat.
This kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area when there’s nothing moving in the eastern Atlantic. It’s a frustrating stretch, but forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever. For now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

Information about the Ahtopol Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ahtopol provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ahtopol can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ahtopol 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 (Ahtopol) 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 Ahtopol 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.
Ahtopol is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Carevo. If you plan a holiday in Bulgaria - Black Sea, look for hotels and other accommodation in Carevo. Carevo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
