Agios Ioannis Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, grab a coffee and let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a slow grind for most of the run. Agios Ioannis is a classic point break that loves a solid NE groundswell, but we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, choppy, or just plain flat conditions. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ around 80°, which is nice, but it’s not gonna help the waves.

We’ve got a major gap here. From now all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 13th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. A whole week and a half of dribble – tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft waves with short, weak period, light onshore or cross-shore winds, and combined swell energy barely tickin’ over (max 31). Total flat spell.

Then, things finally get interesting. The standout window is Thursday the 14th of August. Thursday morning kicks off with a solid 6 ft swell from the ENE, with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps to 443 – that’s moderate, but it’s the biggest push we’ve seen. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which will make the point clean as a whistle. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s not huge, but for a point break that’s been starved, this is a welcome pulse. It’s a bit on the bigger side for a beginner, but an intermediate will have a ball. Thursday afternoon holds at 6 ft from the same direction, with energy up to 543, but the wind swings light cross-onshore, so it’ll get a little bumpy.

After that, Saturday the 15th of August morning drops back to 3 ft from the east, with 107 energy. It’s marginal, and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not a clean option. The rest of the run fades back into tiny, weak conditions again.

So, the only true standout is the morning of Thursday the 14th. Get on it while it’s glassy and clean. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off.

Rusty.
