The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a total write-off for surf at Vama Veche. There’s just nothing on the cards. No swell, no waves, nothing to get excited about. The entire forecast period, from July 27th right through to August 11th, shows zero surfable energy with no swell height, period, or direction recorded. The combined energy of all swells directed here is zilch (0), which is about as flat as it gets.
For a spot that’s exposed to the east and notoriously inconsistent, a blank run like this is actually pretty normal. It tends not to stay poor for long though, and forecasts can change, so don’t bin your boards just yet. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Honestly, with nothing but poor surf conditions and mostly moderate cross-onshore or onshore breezes, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If the wind’s howling and there’s no swell, you’re better off on a kite. A couple of mornings on August 7th and 8th are glassy with light winds, but even then there’s zero surf to ride.
Hang tight, keep an eye on the charts, and wait for a better window.
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.
