Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is a complete flat spell. There’s not a single surfable wave on offer from the 23rd of July right through to the 7th of August. The combined energy is sitting at 0 the whole time, so we’re talking about a proper, extended dead period. That’s a long gap of over two weeks with no recommendations, so if you’re itching for a paddle, you might want to look at other hobbies for a bit.
The only break in the lineup is Ahtopol, a point break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. Normally, when it does work, it needs an easterly swell to get going. But the forecast just isn’t delivering any swell at all. The wind is all over the place too – we get a few glassy mornings, like the 24th, 27th, and 28th of July, with light airs and clean conditions, but there’s simply no waves to enjoy them. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but you will need a lot of patience.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs that’s normal for the area. It’s flat, it’s quiet, and the only thing breaking is the silence. Keep an eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay poor for long.
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.
