Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ahtopol. I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are lookin’ real quiet. There’s no surf to speak of, not a single wave on offer through the whole run. We’ve got a big ol’ gap from now, starting Wednesday the 19th of August, all the way through to Thursday the 3rd of September. That’s a long stretch of flatness. The water temp is sittin’ around 76°, which is pretty average for the time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock.
Ahtopol is a point break that usually likes swell from the east. But there’s just no energy pushin’ in. The combined swell energy is zero (0) the whole time, and the wave comment never changes from “poor surf conditions.” Some mornings we get glassy conditions, like Thursday the 20th, Friday the 21st, and even Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September, but without any swell, glassy doesn’t mean a thing. Wind does swing around from the north and northwest a few times, giving us clean water, but it’s all for nothin’.
This is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area when the swell just doesn’t line up. Nothing to get excited about, but forecasts can change. Hang tight.

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.
