The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – the next 16 days at Vama Veche are totally flat. No swell at all, not a single wave to ride. The combined energy reading is zero (0) for every session, with no swell height, period, or direction recorded anywhere in the forecast.
From now through Tuesday, 4 August, the water temperature is 74°F, which is about normal for this time of year. We’ve got some glassy mornings and clean cross-offshore breezes on plenty of days, like the 21st, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 28th, 29th, 31st July, and into early August. But without a lick of swell, clean conditions don’t mean a thing for surfing.
This break is inconsistent even in a good season, and this stretch is a classic dead spell for the area. Don’t bank on it changing soon, but forecasts can shift. For now, the wind gets moderate on some afternoons, so this setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the complete lack of waves.
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.
