Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let me chew on this for you.

Honestly, it’s looking bleak for the next while. We’ve got Amoudia Left in the crosshairs, and there’s absolutely nothing rideable until the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. That’s nine days of flat ocean, zero swell energy, and reports all calling it “poor.” Morning glass is common, sure, but with no waves, it’s just a mirror. Not what we’re after.

The first real hint of life shows up Thursday morning the 27th. A NW pulse pushes in at about 4ft, with a short period around 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 124 – still moderate, but it’s the first time we see anything above “poor.” The report calls it “surfable but very ordinary.” A light SSE breeze keeps it glassy early, but that period is real short, so the waves will be soft, weak, and they’ll probably just crumble. The swell direction (NW) isn’t the ideal W the break likes, so don’t expect that long, peeling left.

By that afternoon, the wind turns onshore from the W at 15 km/h, and the energy bumps up to 190 (moderate), but it’s back to “poor” conditions. So your window is that Thursday morning and that’s it.

After that, it all drops off again into the dead zone for the rest of the period. Friday morning the 28th looks clean with a light ESE wind, but the swell is barely over 2ft and energy at 20. Not worth suiting up.

So the only real standout, if you can even call it that, is the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. Even then, with that short period and “very ordinary” tag, it’s just a slight break from the flatness. Expect knee-high slop that closes out.

If you’re into kite surfing, the afternoons with onshore wind might give you a little chop to play on. For surfers, it’s a long dry spell. But it doesn’t stay this flat forever, and forecasts change. Keep looking, but right now? Don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
