The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut straight to it – the next 16 days are a total bust for surf around Vama Veche. I’m looking at a flat spell that runs all the way from Friday, 31 July, right through to Saturday, 15 August. Not a single rideable wave in sight. The combined swell energy sits at a flat zero the whole time, with no height, no period, nothing. The water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – about 3°F below average, so you’ll feel that nippiness if you’re just paddling around.
There’s simply no swell to work with. The wind does swing around a bit – a few mornings like Wednesday, 5 August, and Friday, 7 August, offer clean, glassy conditions – but with no waves, it’s just a pretty lake. For a spot that’s exposed to the east, it’s heartbreaking. Vama Veche is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is a proper blank run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll find flat water and occasional light breezes, but don’t expect any surf. This kind of drought is more normal for the area, so keep an eye on the forecasts – they can change. For now, leave the board at home.

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.
