Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Right, mate. Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve had a look at the next few weeks for you, and I’ve got to be honest: it’s a bit of a flat spell. There’s no good surf on offer at the moment. The forecast shows zero wave energy across the board, and the system just isn’t delivering any swell right now.
We’re looking at a blank run that goes all the way through. From now, through the end of August and all the way into the first week of September, there’s nothing doing. The water temp at the start of the outlook is sitting at about 77°F, and that’s a bit warmer than usual for the time of year, around 2°F above the norm, so not crazy but definitely noticeable.
The only break in the frame is Vama Veche. It’s an exposed, east-facing beginner spot, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. Given there’s no swell energy (0 combined energy) and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, the conditions are just poor for paddle surfing. A few mornings, like on the 1st of September (Tuesday), we get a glassy window, but there’s still no swell to work with. Later on, around the 8th and 9th of September, the wind turns offshore and clean, which is promising, but still, there’s zero swell. That setup would actually be more interesting for a kite session than a surf if there was any wind consistency, but for us, it’s a no-go.
Stick with it, though. Forecasts can change, and it won’t stay like this forever.

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.
