Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty damn flat around here. There’s no surf on offer at all for the entire outlook period. Not a single wave worth paddling for. I’m looking at the charts and it’s just a lot of nothing.
We’re going to see a stretch of days with no rideable surf. From now until at least the 20th of September, it's a bust. You’re looking at a solid two-plus weeks of flatness, which is a real bummer. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross and onshore, but that doesn't even matter when there’s zero swell to push around. We get a few cleaner moments, like the morning of the 14th and the 15th, where the wind goes light offshore, but there’s just nothing behind it.
You can see the "combined energy of all swells directed here" is a big fat zero for every single check (0). There’s just no energy in the water at all. It’s the kind of flat that makes you think about taking up golf. For an exposed spot like Vama Veche, which needs that east swell, this is a particularly cruel joke.
While the wind might be howling from the north-northeast on the 20th at 25 mph, with no swell, it's just a blustery, choppy mess. Not even the kitesurfers will get much joy unless they're just trying to get some air. Honestly, for a place that’s usually inconsistent, this blank run is more normal than we’d like, but I’ve seen it turn around before.
There’s nothing to get excited about here, no standouts, no hidden gems. All the breaks are showing the same story. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the only thing you’ll be riding for the next fortnight is a park bench.
Stay salty.

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.
