Expert-verified surf spot database with detailed swell/wind parameters, hazards, and travel information
Constanta is the hub of Romania's emerging surf scene—a historic Black Sea port city where dedicated locals have carved out a wave-riding culture against all odds. The Black Sea's limited fetch means waves rarely exceed 2 meters and periods stay short, but when E-NE winds blow across the 950km open water, surfable conditions materialize along the sandy beaches. The ancient city, founded as a Greek colony 2,600 years ago, offers culture, nightlife, and nearby resort options. No sharks, no crowds, no ego—just pure surf stoke in an unexpected setting.
🇷🇴 Black Sea pioneer • Ancient port city • No sharks
Works best with swells from 90° (E). Workable range: 45°-135°.
Ideal size: 1.1m. Too small below 0.3m, too big (closeout) above 2m.
Needs at least 4s period. Ideal: 6s+ (long-period groundswell).
Offshore wind from 270° (W). Offshore range: 225°-315°. Best window: morning.
East winds create waves. Autumn and winter best.
Relatively safe beach conditions. No sharks in Black Sea.
Swell direction must be within the workable range AND within the spot's coastal orientation. A south-facing beach cannot receive north swells, no matter the size or period.
Offshore wind (blowing from land toward ocean) grooms the wave face. Onshore wind (blowing from ocean toward land) destroys wave quality. Wind tolerance varies by wave type.
Multiple beach access points along Constanta coast.
