Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you. I’ve been staring at the charts for this stretch, and it’s looking like a tough one. We’ve got a solid gap of flat, poor conditions stretching out for the next two weeks. Nobody likes hearing that, but I’d rather be straight with you than feed you a line.
Right now, and for the foreseeable future, there’s just no swell on the menu. The combined wave energy is sitting at zero (0), which tells you everything you need to know. For the next couple of weeks, the sea is going to be pretty much a lake. We might see some wind, but it won't have anything to push.
For the first few days, we're seeing light to moderate cross-onshore breezes, which will just chop up an already flat ocean. There will be some glassy moments, especially the morning of the 8th, but it’s not going to matter with no waves. It’ll be clean, but flat. That’s the kind of torture we’re in for.
We've got a long gap of nothing ahead of us. I’m talking well over a week of this. If you're a beginner looking to get wet, it could be a good time to practice paddling, but there will be no waves to ride. If you're a seasoned surfer, you might want to take up another hobby for a bit.
The one faint light at the end of the tunnel is the morning of the 21st of September. The wind is forecast to swing offshore from the west-northwest, with the water going glassy. It’ll look clean, but there will still be no swell. It’s all just a tease.
So, here’s the hard truth: there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. It’s a total blank run, which is more normal for this area than we’d like. But don’t lose hope. This kind of flat spell tends to break, and the forecasts can change. I’ll keep watching, and the moment there’s a pulse, you’ll hear about it. Until then, keep the boards waxed and the stoke alive.
Rusty, out.

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.
