Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve had a good look at the charts for Ahtopol and the outlook for the next 16 days is a flat one, I’m afraid. There is absolutely no surf on offer from now until the 9th of September. Not a single wave to get excited about. This is a dead run, and it’s worth pointing out Ahtopol is an inconsistent point break, so a blank spell like this is more normal for the area. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 77°F and with a positive anomaly of 2°F, it’s running a little warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s notable, but it won’t make up for the lack of swell.
Looking through the whole period, every single entry shows zero energy and “poor surf conditions”. There are some glassy mornings – like the 28th of August, the 30th of August, the 31st of August, the 1st of September, the 4th of September, and the 5th of September – but without any swell, those clean conditions are wasted. We get a few breezy afternoons with onshore winds picking up from the ENE and NNE, and even a moderate cross-onshore chop on the 2nd and 6th of September, but again, it’s all for nothing.
There are zero standout days. The first seven days are a total washout, and the second week offers no hope either. If you’re a paddle surfer, don’t bother packing your board. The only action in a setup like this at a point break with no waves might be for a kite surfer if they can generate their own power, but for us, it’s a no-go.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a long flat spell.
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.
