Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. Right across the entire 16-day window, from now through to the end of July, the numbers are flat. There’s simply no rideable swell pushing into Vama Veche. The combined energy of all swells directed here is sitting at zero for every single record. That’s a dead ocean, no way around it.
We’re looking at a solid gap of no surf recommendations from Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Wednesday the 29th of July. That’s over two weeks with nothing to offer. The water temp is sitting at about 72°, which is close to normal for this time of year, so that’s no help either.
Given the persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds and the total lack of any swell energy, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is blowing consistently from the east and northeast through much of the period, with moderate breezes, and that’s just not going to build anything for a wave rider.
For a spot like Vama Veche, which is already an inconsistent, exposed beginner break, a blank run like this is pretty normal. It tends not to stay poor forever, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about. Forecasts can change, and we’ll keep an eye on it, but for the next two weeks, don’t bother bringing the board.

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.
