The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a real flat spell. The only time we see any surf worth mentioning is right at the start, a Saturday morning bump that’s more about being in the water than getting anything epic. After that, we’re staring down a long, dry run of close to two weeks with nothing rideable.
Agios Ioannis is our only player here, and it’s a fickle one. This spot is inconsistent, so it takes a pretty specific set of conditions to line up.
The best of a quiet bunch is Saturday, 1st August on the morning session. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the ENE, but here’s the catch – the period is only 7 seconds. That’s short-period wind swell, so it’s not going to have that grunty, lined-up feel. The water is a warm 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. The wind is a light 6 mph from the north, which is cross-on, so it’s not perfect but it’s manageable. The combined energy is moderate (589). It’s a marginal call, but if you’re frothing, this is your window. It’s a point break, so those short-period waves might wrap in a little better than at a beach. It’s going to be small, but it’s something.
After that Saturday morning, it drops off a cliff. By Saturday afternoon, the swell drops to 5ft with the same short period, and the wind turns onshore from the east. It’s a no-go. From Sunday, 2nd August, through to the end of the 16-day window on 16th August, the swell is either tiny, non-existent, or the winds are rubbish. We’re talking 0.7ft to 3ft with poor conditions. There are long stretches of days with zero energy (0) in the water. A few afternoons and mornings go glassy, but there’s simply no swell to ride.
So, if you’re after a paddle, that Saturday morning is your only real shot. The rest of the forecast is a total drought. It’s a blank run, which is normal for this area when it goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
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.
