Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

Right now we’re looking at a flat spell that’s pretty much a write-off. Starting Monday morning, July 6th, there’s a tiny 0.3m (that’s about 1 foot) swell from the WNW, but the period is only 6 seconds – no push behind it. The combined energy is just 6, which is basically nothing. After that morning, the swell disappears into the dirt for days.

From Monday afternoon all the way through Sunday July 12th, we’ve got waves that are lucky to hit 0.3m (1 foot), with periods of 3 to 5 seconds and combined energy readings of 1 or even 0. Winds are often glassy in the mornings – which would be perfect if there was any surf – but the afternoon sea breezes mess it up anyway.

There is a tiny bump on Monday afternoon July 13th: swell height gets up to 0.6m (about 2 feet) from the WNW, period at 6 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 23 – still weak, but it's the biggest number in the whole 16-day outlook. The problem is the wind is onshore from the W at 20 km/h, so the surface will be choppy and poor.

After that, it’s back to tiny 0.2m to 0.4m slop for the rest of the second week, with short periods and no real energy until the forecast ends on Tuesday July 21st.

So what’s the call? The only break in the forecast is Amoudia Left. It’s an inconsistent point break, and this window shows exactly why. The best wave we get is that 0.6m (2-foot) WNW swell on July 13th afternoon, but the direction is off from its optimum (W), it’s short-period junk, and the wind kills it. Crows are often there when it’s good, but trust me, nobody will be paddling out for this.

For beginners: very small waves, so safe if there were any. For experts: nothing to work with. The combined energy never breaks 100, so it’s just not worth suiting up.

This kind of dead run is normal for an inconsistent spot like this. Keep the board in the car, but leave the wetsuit at home.

Rusty, out.
