Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the forecast for the next 16 days is a bit of a flat spell for our area. We're looking at Vama Veche, and honestly, there's just nothing going on for paddle surfing.
The entire 16-day window from August 19th right through to September 3rd shows zero wave energy (0 combined energy) and all the comments read "poor surf conditions." There's a big gap of no surf from the start all the way through. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 76°F, so nothing weird there, but you won't be needing a wetsuit for waves.
We've got a mix of onshore and cross-shore breezes, but without any swell to work with, it doesn't matter. With the wind and flat conditions, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. The break is exposed to the east, but the optimum swell direction is from the east, so the potential is there – it just needs a pulse of energy that never shows up.
This is a spot that's rated as "inconsistent" and it's a beginner-friendly wave, but a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Don't lose hope though – it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on things, but for now, the boards are staying on the rack.
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.
