The Lowdown
Grab your board, but maybe don't get your hopes up too high just yet. The next 16 days at Agios Ioannis are looking pretty bleak for any decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing-worth-paddling-out-for, so let’s break it down.
The entire first week is a write-off. From Thursday the 23rd of July right through to Wednesday the 29th, it’s mostly flat or tiny, wind-chopped junk. Thursday morning starts with a weak 4ft ENE swell – short period of 6 seconds – and the wind is cross-shore, making for poor surf. The energy is weak (101). Afternoon drops to 3ft. Friday and Saturday are even worse with onshore winds and no real swell. Sunday the 26th is glassy but with a tiny 0.7ft ENE wave – not even worth a look. Monday and Tuesday are flat. Wednesday the 29th stays tiny, with a 1ft ENE swell in the morning under glassy conditions, but it’s just not enough.
We do get a pulse of energy kicking in around Thursday the 30th of July. The swell picks up to 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits moderate at 185. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit messy. The rating is still marginal. Friday the 31st sees a similar 5ft ENE swell (293 energy), but again with cross-onshore winds. Saturday the 1st of August is the best of a bad bunch, with the swell reaching 5ft from the ENE and a period of 7 seconds, giving us a moderate energy of 361. The wind is light cross-onshore in the morning, but it’s still not clean. This is borderline for beginners, but for an experienced surfer, it might be the only window worth a look. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Heading into the second week, Sunday the 2nd of August has a 3ft E swell with glassy conditions in the morning – surfable, but very ordinary. The energy is weak at 100. Monday the 3rd is similar, with 3ft ENE swell and glassy conditions, but again, it’s just small. After that, it drops off a cliff. Tuesday the 4th through to Friday the 7th is mostly flat, with tiny 0.3ft to 1ft waves and poor conditions.
Honestly, Agios Ioannis is a point break that rarely gets a good run, and this forecast proves it. The only standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday the 1st of August. The swell is 5ft from the ENE, which is a long way off the optimum NE direction for this spot, but the energy is the highest we’ll see. It’s not great, but it’s the best on offer. For the rest, it’s a long, flat stretch. Sometimes, the forecast changes, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
