Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright. Rusty here.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’ve got a full 16-day window staring us in the face and there’s absolutely nothing to get excited about. The entire forecast is a flat, lifeless run. Not a single wave worth paddling for. The first recommendation doesn’t show up at all, and the whole period is a no-go.
Starting from Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, right through to the afternoon of Wednesday, August 12th, it’s the same story. Clear skies, but the swell is a total ghost. The combined energy of any swell directed here is 0, so the ocean is just a bathtub. There’s no surf. Period.
The only break we have info for is Ahtopol, a point break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. It needs an east swell to work, but there’s nothing from that direction. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The only thing worth noting is that on the morning of Tuesday, August 4th, we get a spell of glassy conditions with zero wind. But it doesn’t matter because there’s still no swell. It’s just a flat, pretty mirror. Normally, a blank run like this is more typical for the area, so it’s not a huge shock, but it’s still a bummer.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d find another hobby for a couple of weeks.
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.
