Surf Forecasts:
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a blank run that stretches from now all the way through to the 26th of July. That’s a solid 16 days where there’s just no swell to speak of. The combined swell energy is sitting at zero (0) the entire time. No bump, no push, nothing. The charts are flat as a pancake.
The water temp at Vama Veche is sitting at 75°F and the anomaly is 1°F, so it’s pretty much where you’d expect it to be for this time of year. Not a factor either way when there are no waves.
Every single day shows “poor surf conditions.” The wind tries to play nice once in a while – we get a glassy morning on Saturday the 25th of July, and a handful of clean mornings with light offshore breezes, but without any swell, it’s a lake. It doesn't matter if the wind is perfect; you need something to push through.
The only break on the radar is Vama Veche. It’s a beginner spot, exposed to the east, but it’s rarely breaking and when it does it’s inconsistent. With no swell showing up, all you’re gonna find is flat, clean water. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a paddleboard or a kite than a surfboard right now. We just gotta wait for the next system to breathe some life back into this place. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
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.
