Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Vama Veche. I’ve got to be straight with you – looking at the next 16 days, it’s a tough watch. The swell energy is completely flat at zero for the entire period. There is nothing rolling in. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is about average for this time of year, so when a wave does eventually show up, it’ll be comfortable. But right now, we’re looking at a blank ocean.
The wind is going to be a constant issue too. The first few days are mostly cross and cross-on breezes, with some moderate chop. Friday and Saturday kick things off with a 12 to 16 mph northerly cross, making the surface messy. Sunday gets worse with a fresh 22 mph cross-shore. It’s not until Tuesday the 11th that the breeze drops to a light 6 mph, but even then, there’s no swell to clean up. The middle of the week sees a few lighter wind windows – Wednesday morning with a slight 3 mph breeze and Thursday morning with a light 6 mph cross-on – but again, it’s all for nothing with zero waves.
It looks like we have a solid gap of over a week and a half with no surf at all. The only moment that even hints at a change is the morning of Tuesday, August 18th, when the wind swings to a light cross-off at 9 mph, giving us a clean surface. But it’s still flat. The following Thursday, August 20th, has a light 3 mph onshore, but that’s about it.
Honestly, for a beginner spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a dead period. The open, exposed beach setup is going to be purely a wind sport zone – for kitesurfers, there might be something to work with, but for paddle surfing, there’s nothing. Don’t get too down, though; a flat spell like this usually doesn’t last forever. Forecasts can shift, but right now, you’d be better off finding something else to do for the next couple of weeks.
Stay salty.

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.
