The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got for Agios Ioannis over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for this spot. The first week or so is mostly flat or tiny, with no real surf to speak of. We’re looking at a long dry spell from now through the end of July, with only the tiniest bump of energy showing up around the 30th. It’s not until Friday, the 31st of July, that things start to look half-decent, and even then it’s nothing to get too excited about.
The only time worth paddling out is Friday afternoon, the 31st of July. The swell is coming from the ENE at 5 ft with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy out of the NNE. That’s clean, smooth conditions for a point break that likes NE swell. The combined energy is moderate at 240, so there’s enough push to get a few rides. Keep in mind Agios Ioannis is inconsistent, so don’t expect waves rolling through back to back. It’s also a break that can get crowded sometimes, so you might have some company out there.
After that, the first few days of August are back to small, weak conditions, with poor surf quality and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The swell drops off quickly, and by the second week of August, we’re looking at tiny waves again, with barely any energy. The whole period is a tough one, with long gaps of nothing much to recommend. If you’re a beginner, it’s not going to be an issue because the biggest swell just touches 5 ft on the Friday morning, which is still manageable, but the quality is poor.
So, the standout here is that Friday afternoon session on the 31st of July. Glassy, clean, and small but rideable waves. Everything else is pretty much a write-off.
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.
