The Lowdown
G’day folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for Agios Ioannis over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I’ve gotta be straight with you—there’s a long, quiet stretch ahead. The first week is pretty much a write-off. From now through the end of August, we’re looking at tiny, unrideable swells with poor conditions. Most days show combined swell energy below 10 (weak energy), and the odd glassy morning on the 24th and 25th only brings waves around 1ft to 2ft with periods of 3 to 6 seconds—not enough to push you into anything worth paddling for.
The real gap here is about 12 days of nothing. You’ll be waiting until Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, for anything that even gets a pulse. That morning, we finally see a bump: 5ft swell coming from the ENE at 7 seconds, with the combined energy jumping up to 345 (moderate wave energy). Winds are glassy—dead calm—so the conditions will be clean as a whistle. The break is a point break called Agios Ioannis, and it’s exposed to swell from the NE, which lines up nicely with that ENE direction. Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is 4° warmer than usual (much warmer than normal), so it’ll feel like a warm bath.
That Thursday morning is the standout of the whole forecast. It’s an intermediate-level wave, but given the size, it’s still fine for a confident surfer. The crowd situation? It says ‘sometimes’, so you could have company, but on a point break that’s inconsistent, it might not be too hectic. The period is short (7 seconds), so the waves won’t have heaps of power or shape, but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, Friday the 4th of September morning drops back to 3ft ENE with 6-second period and combined energy of 53 (weak energy) and glassy winds again. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Afternoon gets a chop from the cross-onshore wind, so not worth hanging around for.
So, to sum it up: if you’re keen, pencil in Thursday morning, 3rd September, for the only real chance of a wave. The rest is a long dry spell.
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.
