Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
It's a tough one to call. Right across the entire 16-day window, there’s just no swell to speak of. The water’s sitting at a pretty normal 74°F for this time of year, but the energy is totally flat. We're lookin' at a solid gap from now until the end of the outlook with zero wave action. The only spot on the radar is Vama Veche, and it's an inconsistent, exposed beach break that usually needs an easterly swell to work. Unfortunately, nothing is coming through.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday, July 18th has a cross-onshore wind at 15 mph and a combined energy of 0, so the water is a choppy mess. Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th are the same story – cross-onshore winds, no energy, poor conditions.
We get a bit of a tease mid-week. Wednesday morning, July 22nd, the wind swings offshore at 12 mph, and it's clean, but there's still zero swell. The same goes for Thursday morning, July 23rd, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s heartbreaking to see clean conditions with no waves.
The pattern stays flat. We see a few glassy or clean moments, like Saturday morning, August 1st, with a 3 mph glassy wind, but again, there's no energy to push any waves through. The combined energy is stuck at 0 for every single record.
So, the honest truth is, there's nothing to chase. The surf is completely flat. For a spot like Vama Veche that's already inconsistent, a blank run like this isn't unheard of, but it's still a bummer. The only folks who might have a good time in these conditions are the kite surfers if a decent breeze kicks up, but for paddle surfing, it's a no-go.
Keep your eyes on the forecast, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long. I'll be back if anything changes.
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.
