Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a total write-off for surf at Ahtopol. There’s not a single wave on offer, nothing. Nada. From Friday the 7th of August right through to Saturday the 22nd of August, every single session shows “poor surf conditions” with zero swell energy.
It’s a real shame, because the spot itself is a point break that can handle an easterly swell. But the finder is showing no swell at all for the whole period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat zero (0) every day, so there’s simply nothing to get excited about.
The winds are a mixed bag of cross-shore and cross-onshore breezes, with a few glassy moments on the 19th, 21st, and 22nd, but without any swell, it’s just a flat lake. Even the glassy conditions won’t help if there’s no wave.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent, a blank run like this isn’t completely out of the ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no weird anomalies there. But don’t bother packing your board for this one – forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
