Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next sixteen days are a tough stretch for surf around here. The finder is pulling up nothing but poor surf conditions for the entire forecast period, so we're looking at a complete blank run from now through to Saturday, August 8th.
Vama Veche is the only break on the cards, and it's an exposed beach break that's inconsistent at the best of times. The issue is we've got zero swell energy coming through. The combined energy reading is a flat 0 (0) for the whole period, which means there's simply no wave height to speak of. The wind is mostly coming from the north, northeast, and east, putting it in a cross to cross-onshore direction for most of the mornings and afternoons, which would chop up any tiny bump that might appear.
A few mornings, like Sunday the 26th of July, show a clean surface with a light cross-offshore breeze from the northwest, but again, there's no swell to ride. It's a classic case of the sea looking pretty but delivering nothing. With no swell and persistent onshore or cross-shore winds, this setup is way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that's small comfort when you're just bobbing around.
Look, this happens sometimes in this area – a long stretch with no real groundswell. It tends not to stay this way forever, but for now, save the board wax and keep an eye on the horizon. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's nothing to get excited about.
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.
