The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Agios Ioannis.
Straight up, this is a lean run. We’ve got a few days of okay surf, but nothing to get overly excited about, and then a long stretch where the ocean basically goes quiet. The whole window is sketchy for consistency.
The best bet in the whole 16 days is Thursday, July 30th morning. The swell is a clean 5ft from the ENE, and it’s glassy as glass with a light NNE breeze at 3 mph. The wave energy is moderate at (224), and for a point break like this, the short 6-second period means the waves will be a bit walled and not super punchy, but the conditions will be smooth. It’s an inconsistent spot and the optimum direction is NE, so that ENE swell is a touch off-angle, but for July, this is as good as it gets. Surf’s up, but keep your expectations in check.
After that, things drop. Thursday afternoon is still glassy, but the swell is smaller at 4ft and the energy drops to (111). Friday the 31st morning picks up a bit more size to 5ft with 368 units of energy, but the wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 6 mph, which messes with the surface. Not junk, but not the cleanest.
Saturday August 1st morning is similar – 5ft with 302 energy, but more cross-shore wind. The wind switches onshore from the ENE in the afternoon, making it look more like a kite session than a paddle one. Sunday August 2nd is a write-off for quality, though the afternoon is glassy with tiny 4ft waves.
Then comes the dry spell. From Monday August 3rd onward, the swell dies. We’re talking knee-high dribble for days. There are a few mornings with clean conditions but zero real push. The combined energy drops to double and single digits (18, 25, 0…), and many days have no swell at all. That blank stretch runs from Monday August 4th right through to Saturday August 9th, and picks up into the second week only as tiny, low-energy junk.
The second week is a bust. August 10th through to the 14th are almost entirely flat or micro-swell. The biggest thing in that period is Thursday afternoon August 13th, with a 3ft ENE swell at 96 energy and a messy cross-onshore breeze. Hard pass.
So, take the Thursday morning window if you can. Otherwise, the beach stays quiet, and you’re better off waiting for another system to light things up. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Rusty.

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.
