Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for your local stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a grim picture for the next sixteen days. We're lookin' at a proper flat spell, a real drought of swell. Right from the get-go, starting Wednesday the 22nd of July, right through to Thursday the 6th of August, there's just not a single wave on offer. The combined swell energy is a big fat zero (0) the whole way through. The weather might be fine for a swim, but for a surf? Forget it.
There's not much to get excited about, but let's talk about the one spot we've got on the books: Vama Veche. It's a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break that's inconsistent and rarely breaks on a good day, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It's an east-facing spot, so it needs a good easterly push.
Honestly, there's no standout here. The entire forecast is a 16-day blank. Some mornings, like Thursday the 23rd, Friday the 24th, and Saturday the 25th of July, the wind looks clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but with zero swell, it doesn't matter one bit. It's just a frustrating wait. Don't hold your breath for anything to change in the second week either – it's just more of the same flatness. Sometimes the ocean just goes to sleep, and this is one of those times.
Not much else to say. Hang loose, or take up another hobby for a fortnight.

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.
