The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First up, the outlook for Agios Ioannis is a tough one. We're looking at a pretty lean 16-day window, and to be honest, there's not a lot to get excited about. The water is a warm 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait will be comfortable.
We start with a bit of a gap. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell. Thursday the 6th of August has a tiny 1ft to 2ft easterly swell with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy is very weak, only 11 to 30. It's glassy, but there's just no power.
Things don't really improve until Monday the 10th of August. That morning, we finally see a pulse of swell. The swell height picks up to 4ft from the east with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 172. It's a bit of a mixed bag though, with a cross-offshore wind from the NW keeping it clean, but the waves are still described as "surfable but very ordinary". The afternoon cleans up with glassy conditions and a 3ft easterly swell (121 energy). This is the best we've got, but it's not a standout.
From there, it's a slow slide back into small, weak surf. The swell drops off again, and the wind becomes a constant issue, mostly from the ESE, creating cross-onshore chop. We get a tiny glimmer of hope on Saturday the 15th of August with a glassy morning and a 3ft easterly swell (78 energy), but it's still ordinary.
The entire second week is a drought. From the 17th of August onwards, the swell is practically non-existent, with combined energy readings dropping to single digits. The wind is often onshore or cross-shore, making it choppy. There's just nothing to ride.
The bottom line here is that this is a quiet period for Agios Ioannis. The only window that offers anything at all is Monday the 10th of August, but even then, it's nothing to write home about. This is a classic case of "it tends not to stay poor for long," but for these 16 days, the best advice is to leave the board at home and enjoy the sunshine.
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.
Agios Ioannis is 19 km (12 miles) from the city of Volos. If you plan a holiday in Aegean Sea, look for hotels and other accommodation in Volos. Volos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
