Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for your stretch of coast, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s looking bleak. There's not a single decent wave on the board for the next 16 days. Not one.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of flatness. The combined swell energy is showing a big fat zero (0) for the whole period. There’s just no push in the water at all. It’s one of those times where the ocean is taking a total breather.
Now, the winds are all over the place. We’ll see some clean, glassy moments—like Monday morning on the 17th when it’s dead calm, and the weekend after that on the 30th and 31st, there are some light offshore breezes. But it won’t matter much with no swell to push around. We’ll also have some proper windy, messy days, especially around the 28th and 29th when that north wind kicks up to 25 mph. Don’t even bother.
The water temp on the 16th is reading 75.7°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so there’s nothing to complain about there. But honestly, with no waves, you’d be better off going for a swim.
Since this is Vama Veche, a spot that’s pretty inconsistent anyway, this blank run isn't totally out of the ordinary. It’s just one of those flat spells. Forecasts can change, and these things don’t usually last forever. But for now, there is nothing to get excited about. Keep the board in the car, maybe take up kite surfing for a week.

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.
