Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the charts for the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a flat spell for Vama Veche. There’s no swell energy showing up, so we’re looking at a complete blank run. The combined energy of all swells is sitting at 0, and that’s not gonna change anytime soon. The water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is basically bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From Thursday the 6th of August right through to Friday the 21st of August, there’s absolutely nothing to get excited about. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, sometimes onshore, and it’s just not doing us any favours. There’s no swell height, no period, nothing. This is one of those stretches where the area just doesn’t produce. It’s a beach setup, exposed to the east, and when it’s flat, it’s flat.
The only slightly interesting moment is on the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August, when we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW. That’ll clean the surface right up, but there’s still no swell to ride. It’s a tease. That’s about as good as it gets, and that’s not good at all.
So, for the next two and a half weeks, leave the boards at home. The forecasts can change, and it never stays this poor forever, but for now, there’s nothing to chase. I’ll be back when the ocean wakes up.
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.
