The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m lookin’ at a blank canvas. There’s no surf on the menu for the whole 16-day stretch. Not a single wave of any size, direction, or energy is showing up. The combined energy of all swells directed here is zero (0) across the board. That’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
For Vama Veche, the water temp is sittin’ at a normal 75°F for the time of year, which is about average, but that doesn’t help when there’s nothin’ to ride. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross-shore, never properly offshore for long, and the comments all say the same thing: poor surf conditions. The pattern is clear – from Friday 24 July right through to Saturday 8 August, it’s a total flat-out dud.
If you’re a beginner, you’ve got nothing to learn on. If you’re a local, you know this area can go quiet like this. It’s not unusual for a stretch of no swell. The breaks are inconsistent by nature, so a blank run is more normal here. Don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Stay tuned, but for now, the board stays on the rack.
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.
