Agios Ioannis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it, mate.

First up, the water temp at Agios Ioannis is running about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Honestly, looking at the full 16 days ahead, we've got a long stretch of nothing to write home about. From Tuesday the 1st of September all the way through to the 7th, it's flat – no surf to speak of, just tiny wind ripples and glassy conditions with no swell. That's a solid week of nothing.

The first real pulse shows up on Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning brings a bit of life with a 5ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it's a weak, windswell-type wave. The combined energy is moderate at 312, but the wind is cross-onshore from the E at 6 mph, so it's going to be a bit bumpy. It's borderline surfable, but nothing to get excited about. The afternoon drops off.

After that, it's back to small, poor conditions through the rest of the week and into the next. The wind swings around and picks up, especially on Monday the 14th of September, when we get a 4ft to 5ft ENE swell, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore breeze from the NNW at 22 mph in the afternoon, making it lumpy and messy. The energy is moderate (264 in the morning, 264 in the afternoon), but the quality just isn't there for a good paddle.

So, the standout – if you can call it that – is the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. It's the biggest swell we see, and the only window where there's enough energy to ride. It's not great, but it's the best on offer. The break is an inconsistent point break, and it can get crowded sometimes, so keep that in mind.

Other than that, the forecast is a long, dry spell. For the rest of the 16 days, it's mostly small, onshore or cross-shore slop. This is a tough run for Agios Ioannis – it's a spot that can be inconsistent, but this stretch is particularly quiet.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.

Rusty.
