Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve scoured the charts for the next 16 days, and I’m looking at a total flat spell for Ahtopol. There’s simply no swell on the menu at all. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. We’re talking waves of 0.0ft and zero combined energy (0) for the entire run. That’s a long, quiet stretch.
The water’s sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just keen for a float, it’s lovely. But for a wave? Nothing. The winds do offer some glassy mornings on the 3rd, 5th, 10th, and 14th of September, and even a clean offshore breeze on the 15th of September, but without any swell, it’s just a flat, pretty pond. A few afternoons have cross-shore and onshore breezes, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no wave to ride.
So, I’m sorry to say it, but the best recommendation I’ve got is to leave the boards in the car. This is a proper blank run. The good news is, in this area, it tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the horizon. I’ll be back when there’s something to ride.
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.
