Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. I’ve scanned every day from now through to July 19th, and there’s just not a single moment where the swell shows up. The combined wave energy flatlines at 0 across the board.
For Ahtopol, a point break that’s already inconsistent, this is a total blank run. No height, no period, no nothing. The water is sitting at 78°F, which is 5°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s notably warm, but doesn’t help the surf. Winds vary from glassy to breezy, but without any swell, it doesn’t matter. Mornings on July 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, and 17th are glassy, and July 11th and 18th have a light cross-offshore, but again, there’s nothing to ride. The whole 16-day stretch is a flat spell.
If you’re into paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. The lack of any swell energy means even the best winds can’t make a wave. For kite surfers? With some onshore breezes kicking up choppy water, it might be a day out, but not for us wave riders. This area can go through quiet runs like this, and unfortunately, this is one of them. Keep an eye on things – forecasts can shift.

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.
