Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a real dry spell for the next couple of weeks. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's just nothing doing. Not a single wave worth paddling out for. The entire forecast is a big fat zero when it comes to surfable energy. The combined swell energy is sitting at 0 for every single session. That's about as flat as it gets.
So for the break, Karasu, it's a beginner-friendly, inconsistent spot that's fairly exposed to the swell, and it likes wind from the NE. But it doesn't matter because there's no swell to speak of. We've got a lot of days with clean, glassy mornings – especially the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd of September – but the ocean is flat. No height, no period, nothing.
There are some pockets of offshore or glassy wind, like the morning of the 23rd with a light SW offshore, and the 24th morning with a WSW offshore, but again, there's no wave energy to work with. The whole period from now through to the end of the month is essentially a blank run. This kind of dead spell isn't unusual for the area, but it's still a bummer.
If you're into kite surfing, maybe there's something on the windier afternoons, but for us paddle surfers, it's a solid miss. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Karasu Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karasu provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karasu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karasu 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 (Karasu) 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 Karasu 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.
Karasu is 6 km (4 miles) from Karasu. If you plan a holiday in Black Sea, look for hotels and other accommodation in Karasu. Karasu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
