Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Right, if you're looking at the Black Sea today, the forecast is a total blank. Vama Veche isn't giving us a single wave worth paddling for across the entire 16-day window. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat zero (0) the whole time, so there's literally nothing to ride. That's a long stretch of nothing.
We’ve got a solid run of cross-onshore winds and moderate breezes through the first week, with a few cleaner days on the 22nd and 23rd of July when the wind swings cross-off, but without any swell, it’s just a flat, clean lake. The water temp is about 74°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a swim wouldn't be cold.
The second week, from the 27th of July into August, keeps up the same story. There’s a glassy morning on the 27th and a light offshore on the 28th, but it’s all for nothing with no swell. The setup is a beach break that’s exposed to the east, but with nothing coming from that direction, it’s a dead loss. Honestly, this looks more like a windsurfing or kiting spot than a surf spot right now. For a paddle surfer, there’s just nothing to get excited about. A blank run like this is not unusual for this area, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
