Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what we’ve got on the cards for Vama Veche.
I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking like a total write-off for any kind of proper surf. We’ve got a big, empty gap right through the whole outlook period. The first recommendation doesn’t come until August 20th, and even then, it’s a dead zero. From Thursday, August 20th all the way to Friday, September 4th, there’s simply no swell to speak of. The wave energy meter is stuck on zero (0), and the commentary just keeps saying “poor surf conditions.” It’s a bleak one.
All through Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, we’re looking at cross-shore breezes, nothing but chop. Saturday the 22nd, the wind goes straight onshore. It’s the same story on Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, with onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s no height, no period, no energy – just flat.
We get a couple of glassy mornings on Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August, but don’t get your hopes up. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, which is bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there. The problem is there’s just no swell to be clean. It’s a millpond. By the time we roll into September 1st and 2nd, we get a clean moment with a cross-offshore wind on the morning of the 2nd, but again, no waves. The wind finally turns strong on the 4th of September, but with no swell, that’s just a waste.
For a spot that’s exposed to the east, the optimum direction is east, but we’ve got nothing coming from anywhere. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and these 16 days are just a blank run. It’s not uncommon for this area, so don’t let it grind your gears too much. With no waves on offer, there’s absolutely nothing to recommend.
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.
