The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the data and talk about what’s really happening.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle for surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and onshore winds that just won’t give us a break. The combined wave energy sits at feeble numbers like 18 to 22 (weak energy) for most of that time, with waves rarely cracking 2 ft. It’s mostly cross-onshore breezes and choppy conditions, so don’t expect much – it’s poor surf, day after day. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Now, the one glimmer of hope comes much later. On Tuesday morning, September 8th, we finally see some life. Agios Ioannis, a point break that’s exposed to the swell, will start to pick up some energy. The morning looks clean with glassy conditions – a light wind from the ENE, basically no breeze. The swell will be 5 ft from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 274 (moderate wave energy). That’s the best window we’ve got. It’s an intermediate-level spot, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect it to be pumping all day, but that Tuesday morning is your standout. The wind is perfect, the waves are a decent size, and the direction is right on the money for the optimum NE swell direction. It’s a solid pick for a session.
The rest of the forecast is a lot of waiting. You’ll see a few days with glassy moments but no real swell to push them, so don’t get your hopes up. That Tuesday morning is the one to circle.
Rusty.

Information about the Agios Ioannis Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Agios Ioannis provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Agios Ioannis can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Agios Ioannis 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 (Agios Ioannis) 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 Agios Ioannis 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.
