The Lowdown
Well folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you. I’ve been staring at the charts for Vama Veche and, honestly, it’s a bit of a heartbreaker. We’re looking at a full 16-day window with absolutely no swell on the horizon. Not a ripple of real surf energy. The combined energy readings are all at zero, which tells you everything you need to know. The ocean is going to be flat, and the only thing moving the water will be the wind.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing, from Wednesday the 5th all the way through to Thursday the 20th. That’s a solid two weeks plus of flatness. The wind’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore too, which is just rubbing salt in the wound. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Wednesday the 12th where the wind goes glassy, but with no swell, a glassy ocean is just a mirror, not a playground. It’s a classic blank run for this part of the world, so don’t go getting too down about it. It’s just how it goes sometimes.
The water temperature is sitting around 75°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so at least a swim will be comfortable.
Look, I can’t point you to a single wave out there. The setup is looking far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with all that wind and chop. But don’t bin the boards just yet. Forecasts change, and with a spot that’s usually more consistent, this kind of dead spell tends to break. Keep an eye on it, but for now, the surf forecast is a big, fat zero.
Rusty, out.

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.
