Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – this is a tough one. The surf forecast for our area is a total blank for the entire 16-day window. From Tuesday, July 28th all the way through to Wednesday, August 12th, there's not a single wave worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is sitting at a flat zero the whole run. It's a ghost town out there.
The only break we've got on the radar is Vama Veche. It's usually an inconsistent spot exposed to the east, and right now there's just nothing coming in. We see some glassy conditions pop up on the morning of Thursday, July 30th, but with zero swell, it's just a flat, pretty lake. A lot of the time, the wind is blowing cross-onshore or onshore, which just adds to the frustration, but even on the cleaner days, there's no energy to work with.
For a spot that's more of a beginner-level beach break, this is a real bummer. When it's this flat for this long, honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind cooperates. But for us wave riders, it's a waiting game. The good news? These blank runs happen here from time to time, and forecasts can change. Hang in there.
Rusty.

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.
