Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf for the next couple of weeks.
Well, mate, I gotta be straight with you – this one is a tough pill to swallow. Right now, and for the entire 16-day run, there’s just nothing on the table. The swell is a total no-show, with no height, no period, no energy. The combined energy of all swells directed here is sitting at a flat zero (0). It’s a complete flat spell.
We’re looking at Vama Veche, and the water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 75°, so that’s about what you’d expect for this time of year. But that’s where the good news ends.
From the 17th of August right through to the 1st of September, every single session is rated as poor surf. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, with a few breezy days kicking up chop and lumpy conditions. You’ll see some cleaner spells on the 22nd of August morning with a light cross-offshore wind, and again on the 29th and 31st of August mornings with a cross-offshore breeze, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a glassy, flat ocean. There’s no wave to ride.
This is a classic blank run for the area. The spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and with no swell energy on the horizon, there’s simply nothing to recommend. It’s a tough one, but forecasts can shift, so keep an eye on the horizon. For now, the only thing breaking is your heart.

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.
