The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Agios Ioannis. The 16-day window starts quiet – real quiet. The first couple of days, Monday and Tuesday, are flat with glassy conditions but no swell to speak of. You’re not missing anything. Then Wednesday the 29th throws a tiny 1.3ft ENE pulse with a 4-second period and cross-onshore wind – not worth paddling out. That afternoon picks up a bit to 3.3ft, still 6 seconds and cross-onshore, energy only 107 (weak). Still poor.
Thursday the 30th morning shows 4.6ft ENE, 6 seconds, cross wind, energy 220 (moderate). It’s marginal but the wind is light and cross-shore, so maybe a few closeouts. That afternoon glassy with 3.6ft, 7 seconds – surfable but ordinary. The water’s 80.6°F, which is a solid 4.3°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch of a bath.
Now, the best of a pretty average run comes Friday the 31st morning. Swell bumps to 6.9ft from ENE, 7 seconds, cross wind from the north at 9 mph. The combined energy is 756 (moderate). It’s a little lumpy but clean enough for a point break like this. The period is short, so the waves will be a bit crumbly, but for an inconsistent spot that rarely lines up, it’s a chance. Friday afternoon drops to 5.6ft, 8 seconds, onshore wind – not great.
Saturday the 1st of August morning is the other standout: 7.2ft ENE, 8 seconds, energy 986 (moderate). The wind is cross-

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.
