Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next stretch.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: the 16-day window is a total write-off. There’s no swell at all. Combined energy is sitting at 0 (zero) for the entire period. The conditions are consistently poor for surfing, so we’re looking at a solid blank run from the start right through to Monday the 24th of August. Not a single ripple to get excited about.
The only spot in the guide is Vama Veche, and it’s an exposed beach that’s inconsistent at the best of times. Right now, it’s flat. The water temp is a warm 77°, and with an anomaly of 0.9°, that’s right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The winds are all over the place – onshore, cross-shore, lumpy chop – and even when it gets glassy on the morning of Sunday the 16th, there’s nothing to surf. The morning of the 19th and 20th do have some clean offshore winds, but again, with zero wave energy, it’s just a pretty picture. There is no standout option. This is one of those stretches where the area just doesn’t deliver. It’s a typical flat spell for a beach that rarely sees consistent groundswell. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon winds on a few days might be more interesting than what we have for paddling.
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.
