Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've gotta be straight with you—this outlook for Vama Veche (Romania) is a rough one. We're looking at the full 16-day window, and there's a flat spell that stretches from start to finish. There are absolutely no surfable waves on the cards. Every single day from Friday morning, 14 August right through to Saturday afternoon, 29 August shows zero swell energy (0) and the wave comment reads "poor surf conditions" across the board. That's a solid 16-day gap with no recommendations.
Vama Veche is an exposed beach break that faces east, and it needs some proper easterly swell to light up. The wind does swing around a bit—there's a glorious moment on Monday morning, 17 August with glassy conditions, and a few spells of light offshore or cross-off winds, but without any swell, it's like a party with no music. The water temp sits at 78°F, which is normal for the time of year (0.5°F anomaly), so at least it's warm enough for a swim.
The combined swell energy is zero across the board, so there's nothing to even talk about. Given the persistent flatness and the fact the break is inconsistent at the best of times, this is pretty typical for the area during a calm spell. If you're desperate to get wet, it's likely better suited for a kite session when the wind picks up, but for paddle surfing, just sit this one out. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. Keep an eye on the charts.

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.
