The Lowdown
Grab a seat. This is Rusty. I've been staring at the charts for Vama Veche and, well, it's a tough one to call in. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. We've got a full 16-day window in front of us, but the ocean is giving us absolutely nothing to work with. There are no decent waves on the horizon at all. Not one single, solitary recommendation in that whole stretch.
The swell energy is sitting at zero (0) the entire time. It's flat. I mean, completely flat. You'd be better off oiling up the kite gear because with those cross and onshore breezes, that's about all you'll be doing.
We're looking at a full weekend and the entire week after that with nothing. It's a real blank run, which isn't unusual for this part of the world, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow. We've got winds swinging around from the southeast, northeast, and north, with the only glassy moments appearing early on the 11th, 18th, and 23rd. But here's the kicker: even on those glassy mornings, there's not a wave to catch. It's just a flat, shiny lake out there.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it would be a nice paddle if there was a reason to.
Honestly, if you're hanging your hat on this forecast, you're going to be let down. The only thing that could save this period is a forecast change. I know it tends not to stay this poor for long around here, and the models are always shifting. But as it stands right now, the boards stay in the car, the wax stays in the drawer. Save yourself the trip.
Keep the faith. The ocean has a way of waking up when you least expect it.

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.
