Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase: the surf outlook for our coast is bleak. We’ve got a solid 16-day stretch of flatness ahead, with no swell on the horizon at all. If you’re jonesing for a wave, you’re out of luck for the next couple of weeks. I see no reason to get your hopes up. The water temp is 76°F, which is about 1°F warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing special, just a touch on the mild side. The whole area is looking at the same story.
Vama Veche is our only spot, and it’s just not firing. The wave energy is at zero (0) for the whole period. The first week is a total blank. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, which would just chop up any swell that even thought about showing up. We’ve got a strong breeze on the 28th at 25 mph, and another push of wind on the 4th and 10th of September. It’s just messy.
The second week doesn't offer much more. A few mornings around the 6th, 7th, and 9th of September look clean with light offshore winds, but it’s still flat as a pancake. No swell to take advantage of the clean conditions. This spot is known for being inconsistent, and this is one of those long, slow periods where it just doesn’t break. This kind of dry spell is normal for the area, but that doesn’t make it any less painful.
Look, it’s not going to stay this bad forever. Forecasts change, and this stretch of coast can turn on quickly. But right now, there is absolutely nothing to recommend. Not one single wave. I can’t sugarcoat it. This is a total washout. Rusty, out.

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.
