Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. This is about as flat a run as I've seen for a while. The whole sixteen-day window from today, the 13th of August, right through to the 28th, is a total write-off. There's just no surf to be found—zero energy in the water.
We're looking at a solid run of days with nothing but lake-like conditions. No swell is showing up at all (combined energy of all swells directed here is 0), so forget about paddling out. The water's sitting at a warm 77°, which is about average for this time of year, but you won't need a wetsuit to stare at a flat ocean.
There's a moment on the morning of Monday the 17th of August where the wind goes glassy, and again on Friday the 28th of August it's glassy in the morning—but without a single ripple of swell, it's just a pretty view. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, a real mix, but it doesn't matter when there's nothing to surf. If the wind picks up and there's any miniscule bump, it would be more of a kite or windsurf scenario at Vama Veche than a paddle surf setup. This is a tough stretch for this spot, and it's more normal for the area to have these blank runs. We just have to wait.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
