Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the charts for our patch. I gotta be straight with you—it’s a grim picture for the next 16 days. I’m looking at the whole run and there’s just nothing on the horizon. Not a single wave to get excited about.
We start with Friday the 11th of September, and straight away it’s “poor surf conditions” with zero energy in the water (0). That flat spell runs all the way through to Saturday the 26th of September. That’s a solid two-week plus stretch of nothing. Every single day has a combined swell energy of zero.
The wind does go clean and offshore at times—Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th have a clean cross-offshore breeze, and the 22nd and 23rd look clean too—but with no swell to work with, it’s just a flat, glassy lake. The water is sitting at a notably warm 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't feel it because you won’t be paddling out.
So here’s the deal: Vama Veche is an exposed beach, and the only direction it likes is east. We get plenty of easterly wind, but never a lick of swell. For a beginner spot that’s already inconsistent, this is about as blank a run as you can get. It’s the kind of quiet spell where the only thing breaking is the boredom.
If the wind cranks and we get some size later on, this setup might start looking more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing, but for now, there’s nothing to ride. Forecasts can change, but this one looks locked in flat. I’ll be watching, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
