Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on tap for the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, it’s a flat spell for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long stretch of hardly any surf, with the first couple of weeks being mostly a write-off for anything rideable. From the start of the outlook on Monday 10th August right through until the middle of the following week, it’s going to be a struggle. The combined wave energy is barely registering, mostly a measly 2 or 4 (weak) at best, with long periods of zeros. The swell is tiny, generally 0.6 ft to 1.0 ft from the WNW, and with such short periods of 4 to 5 seconds, there’s just no push.

The one spot we’ve got to work with is Amoudia Left. It’s a point break, which is about the only thing that could save these tiny pulses, but even then, it’s an inconsistent setup. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 82°.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until a week later. On Tuesday 25th August, there’s a slight uptick in the morning. We get a 1 ft swell from the SW with a period of 5 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 6 (weak). Sure, it’s still small, but with a light easterly breeze that’s cross-offshore, it’ll be clean. The rain showers might put a bit of texture on the water, but it’s the best we’ll see. This is the one standout of the entire forecast, but it’s far from a guarantee given the tiny size and lack of consistency.

For the rest of the window, it’s a whole lot of nothing. We’ve got days and days of zeros and “poor surf conditions” slashed across the whole forecast. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. Hang in there, the forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be finding other things to do.

Stay tuned, Rusty.
