Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty again. Let's break it down in feet and miles.
Straight off the bat – Vama Veche is flat. Nothing. The whole 16-day window from Sunday August 30 through Monday September 14 shows zero wave energy – every session has a combined swell energy of 0. There's no swell height, no period, nothing.
This is an exposed beach break that usually likes east swell, but the ocean is on a total holiday. We do get some clean windows – Tuesday morning September 1 has glassy conditions with a light NNW breeze at about 3 mph, and a few mornings offer clean cross-offshore winds (like Friday September 4 and Saturday September 5). But again, no waves to ride.
Water temperature is around 76°F, which is pretty normal for the season. The break itself is rated for beginners and is inconsistent, so a flat spell like this isn't surprising for the area. The wind swings from onshore to offshore and even some fresh breezes up to 18 mph, but without any groundswell it's just a flat, empty ocean.
My advice: hang the board up for now. Keep an eye on the forecast – things can turn around – but for the next couple of weeks, Vama Veche is a no-go.
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.
