The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you how it is.
For Vama Veche, the next 16 days are a total bust. Zero surf. Nothing. Nada. From now through the end of the period, every single forecast shows no swell, no height, no period, and no wave energy (0 combined swell energy). It’s a flat spell with no end in sight.
Starting today, Sunday the 13th, there’s light rain and a fresh northwesterly breeze, but no surf. Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th—still clean with cross-offshore winds but flat. Wednesday the 16th, Thursday the 17th, all the same. Even on Saturday the 19th, when it’s glassy with barely any wind, the ocean is like a mirror. Friday the 25th gives us two glassy windows, morning and afternoon, but still no waves.
Into the second week, around the 24th and 25th, conditions stay clean, but there’s simply no swell. The water temperature is 75°F, which is about 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s noticeably warm for a flat spell.
For an inconsistent east-facing beach break that needs east swell, this is a tough run. The combined energy is zero. There’s nothing to paddle for. If you’re hanging your hopes on a wave, keep an eye on the sky—forecasts can change, and it doesn’t stay poor forever.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Vama Veche Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Vama Veche provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Vama Veche can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Vama Veche 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 (Vama Veche) 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 Vama Veche 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.
