Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one to swallow. We’re looking at a blank run right from the start, with no surf on offer at all. The entire period from now until the 23rd of August shows nothing but flat lines and poor conditions. That’s a long stretch of quiet water, so if you’re itching for a paddle, you might want to look elsewhere or just wait it out. It’s a rare dry spell, but it happens.
The only spot in the frame is Vama Veche. It’s an exposed beach break, but it’s inconsistent and really only for beginners when there’s something to ride. There’s simply no swell energy to speak of – the combined energy is sitting at a flat 0, so there’s nothing to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at a normal 77°F for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock.
Winds are all over the place, mostly cross-shore or onshore, with speeds ranging from a light 6 mph to a fresh 25 mph. On the 23rd of August, we get a clean offshore wind from the WNW at 19 mph in the afternoon, but with no swell, it’s just a pretty breeze over a flat ocean. There’s no standout day, no decent swell on the horizon. This is a total washout.
Best advice? Save your energy for another time. The season’s not over, but this forecast is a 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.
