Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked over the Vama Veche area for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest – there’s zilch. No swell, no waves, nothing to ride. The whole 16-day stretch is flat as a pancake, with the combined energy of all swells directed here reading 0 every single time.
From Tuesday, September 1st, through to Wednesday, September 16th, every morning and afternoon session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” Zero height, zero period, zero energy. The water temp is about average for the season, so you won’t shiver, but you won’t be surfing either.
There are a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions – like Friday the 4th, Saturday the 5th, and some days in the second week – with offshore or cross-offshore breezes smoothing things out. But without a single ripple of swell, it’s just a flat, pretty lake. If you want to paddle around on a board, go ahead, but that’s all you’re getting.
Vama Veche is an inconsistent, beginner-friendly break that faces east, and it needs a solid easterly push to work. Right now, there’s nothing coming. This kind of dead spell isn’t unusual for the area, so don’t get too down – forecasts can change. But for the next 16 days, leave the surfboard at home. If the wind blows hard enough, you might get a kite session in, but for paddle surfing, it’s a total bust.

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.
