Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight: it’s a flat spell. From now right through the next 16 days, there’s not a single wave worth paddling for at Vama Veche. The forecast shows zero swell energy (0) the whole way – we’re talking a blank ocean with no height, no period, nothing coming in. That’s a complete gap from Thursday the 30th of July all the way to Friday the 14th of August. No surf on offer anywhere in that window.
The winds try to play nice sometimes – like on the morning of Wednesday the 5th of August, we get a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions, but there’s just no swell to work with. Other days it’s choppy, onshore, or cross-shore, but it doesn’t matter because the ocean is dead flat. Vama Veche is an exposed, inconsistent beginner spot that only breaks when there’s east swell, and we don’t get any this time around.
If you’re a paddler, there’s nothing here. I won’t even pretend there’s a standout. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – at least you’d get some wind on the afternoons when the breeze kicks up. But for waves? Forget it. It’s a rare blank run, and that’s just how this area goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
