Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it for Ahtopol.
Honestly, mate, looking out over the next couple of weeks, I gotta be straight with ya – the surf scene is flat. There’s a big old gap with no waves on offer at all. We're looking at a solid run from now, through the 6th of September and all the way until the 21st, where the combined swell energy sits at a weak 0. The wind's mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and it’s just not doing us any favours.
There is one small bright spot, and it’s way out there. On the 19th of September, Saturday morning, we get a glassy window at Ahtopol. That's a point break, which usually loves a bit of direction. The wind goes glassy from the SSW at just 3 mph. That's the kind of clean you dream about, with no wind ripples. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 76°F. The only problem is, there's still zero swell – combined energy at 0. So it’s a beautiful, flat ocean. A perfect day for a paddle or a snorkel, but not a wave to be had.
Because this break is inconsistent at the best of times, this long flat spell is a bit more normal for the area. It’s a blank run, and there's just nothing to recommend for a surf. The conditions stay poor right through to the 21st. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – it can't stay poor forever.
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.
