Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your stretch of coast. Let’s be straight with you: this is a tough one. There’s not a single decent wave on the books for the next 16 days at Vama Veche. The whole run is a flat spell with no swell energy to speak of – combined energy is sitting at 0 the whole way. That’s a total blank.
From Wednesday the 12th of August all the way through to Thursday the 27th of August, it’s a dry spell. The forecast shows nothing but “poor surf conditions” day after day, with no swell height, no period, and no direction to get excited about. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, with a few glassy moments on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August, and a couple of clean-ish cross-off breezes on the mornings of Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd of August. But even with clean wind, there’s just no swell to ride.
Water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is about average for the time of year – no surprises there.
Vama Veche is an exposed beach setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s just not doing anything. For a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to chase. If you’re into kite surfing, the consistent cross and cross-onshore winds might still offer some interest on certain days, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
I’d keep an eye on the charts – things can change, but for now, the only thing breaking is the heat. 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.
