The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve taken a good hard look at the charts for Vama Veche, and I’ve got to level with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead. There’s simply no swell on the cards for the entire 16-day window. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat zero (0), and that’s not going to change. We’re looking at a complete blank run from July 17th right through to August 1st. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a tough one. The water temperature is sitting at 73°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
The wind does offer a few moments of calm, like Thursday morning the 23rd of July with glassy conditions, and again on Monday the 27th of July, but none of it matters with a flat ocean. It’s a frustrating period for a paddle surfer. If you’ve got a kite, the strong cross-offshore winds on the 25th and 26th of July might look interesting, but for a surfboard, there’s nothing to ride. It’s a dry spell, pure and simple. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, 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.
