Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – looking at the 16-day window for Vama Veche, it’s a tough one.
Right from the start, there’s no surf to speak of. The entire forecast period is dead flat, with zero wave energy (0). We’re looking at a solid stretch of nothing, day after day.
Starting on Tuesday the 25th of August, through the end of the month and well into September, the beach is just a lake. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore breeze, sometimes a fresh breeze, and the water is choppy and lumpy. You’ll see a few early mornings like Sunday the 30th of August and Monday the 31st of August where it goes glassy or light, but there’s still no swell to push through. Even the cross-offshore wind on the 9th of September can’t make up for the fact that the sea is flat.
For a break that’s exposed to the east, we’re just not getting any juice. It’s rare for an exposed spot to go this quiet for this long, but here we are. The water temp is sitting at 76°F which is about normal for the time of year, so at least a swim would be comfortable, but that’s all you’re getting.
If you’re itching for a paddle, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. For now, I’d say give it a miss. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
Stay salty.
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.
