Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for the local stretch around Vama Veche. I've scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it's a grim picture. We're looking at a flat spell stretching from now, Tuesday the 4th of August, all the way through to the end of the forecast period on the 19th of August. There's a solid 16-day gap with absolutely no rideable swell on the cards. The combined energy of all swells is sitting at zero for the entire period, which is about as dead as it gets.
The main spot, Vama Veche (Romania), is an exposed, east-facing beach break that's already inconsistent and rarely breaks, so this blank run, while frustrating, is a bit more normal for the area. The water temp is sitting at 74°F, which feels a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you'll want a decent spring suit if you're even thinking of getting wet. But with no swell, there's no point.
There's a small window of glassy conditions on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August, with an ESE wind, dead calm, but again, zero swell. The place will be a lake. For the rest of the time, we're looking at a mix of cross-off, cross-on, and onshore winds, often with a decent breeze making conditions choppy and messy.
Given the total lack of ocean energy and the persistent onshore or cross-shore wind, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's simply nothing for a surfer to get excited about. Stick the board in the garage and wait for a proper forecast.

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.
