Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s how it’s looking for the local surf over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I’ve gotta be straight with you: right now, we’ve got a total flat spell on our hands. From now through the entire 16-day forecast, there is nothing rideable on offer at Vama Veche. The combined swell energy sits at 0 – zip, zilch, nada. The guidance tells me this is a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break that prefers eastern swell, but there’s simply no swell arriving at any point. The water temperature anomaly is not provided, so we’ll skip that detail.
The first few days through to Sunday, September 7th, are all "poor surf conditions" with no height and no period recorded. We do see some glassy mornings on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd, and even an offshore wind on Saturday 5th morning, but with zero swell, that means perfectly clean flat water. Not a wave in sight.
Moving deeper into the week, conditions stay flat. The wind swings around from gentle breezes to moderate onshores and cross-shore chops, but none of that matters when the ocean is giving us nothing. Even when we get another glassy window on Tuesday morning, September 8th, and again on Saturday morning, September 12th, there’s still no swell to take advantage of. The second week remains the same story – all zeros. The combined swell energy never climbs past 0 at any point in the whole 16-day run. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank stretch is pretty standard for the area. It’s not often you get good waves here, and this is one of those long quiet spells.
So, no standouts, no best days. There is simply no surf to recommend. Sometimes the ocean just takes a holiday, and that’s where we are now. Forecasts can shift, but for the moment, it’s a total dud.
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.
