Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for this stretch of coast is a tough one. Let’s get into it.
The whole 16-day window from July 21st right through to August 5th is a flat spell. There’s simply no rideable swell on the cards for Vama Veche. The combined wave energy sits at a big fat zero (0) the entire time, so we’re looking at a lake out there, not a surf break.
For a spot that’s exposed to the east, we’re just not getting any energy from that direction. It’s a real bummer, because the water temp is sitting at a pleasant 75°, which is bang on average for this time of year – normal for July. But you can’t surf warm flat water.
The wind does offer some clean moments – like the glassy morning on Friday 24th July, or the offshore flow on Sunday 26th July – but without a wave to push around, it’s all just wasted potential. The poor surf quality persists from start to finish. There are no standouts, no hidden gems, just a long blank run.
I can’t pick a best day because there’s nothing to pick. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe a kayak, but for surfing, this stretch is a total write-off. Forecasts can change, and it doesn’t tend to stay this poor forever, but right now? It’s a no-go.
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.
