Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. It’s flat out there. The long-range forecast for Amoudia Left is looking bleak. We've got a solid stretch of nothing but tiny, weak waves and a lot of glassy but empty water. This isn't a bad day or two; this is a two-week run of poor surf that's going to test your patience. There isn't a single day that looks good, just a long, blank run that’s more normal for this area than a sudden swell.

At the start of the period, this Saturday and Sunday, you might find the faintest bit of life. We're talking about knee-high slop at about 1 foot, with a weak WNW swell and a period of just 4-5 seconds. The energy is almost non-existent (4-5 on the combined reading). The winds are glassy in the morning, which is nice, but with waves like that, you're just floating around. It's poor surf conditions, plain and simple.

The start of next week is more of the same. Monday and Tuesday have that same 1-foot dribble with light winds in the mornings. It'll be clean, but there's just no push behind it. The swell direction is WNW, which is fine for this spot, but the size and period are just too weak to create anything rideable. You're really hunting for anything.

Mid-week, things go from bad to worse. Wednesday through the following weekend, we're looking at practically nothing. The swell height drops to 0.3m or even disappears entirely on some days. The energy readings are down to 1-2, which is as weak as it gets. The mornings continue to be glassy, which is a bit of a tease—clean surface, but no waves.

As we push into the second week, the pattern holds. There's a slight, almost laughable, bump to 0.6m around the 18th, but the period is still short and the energy is minimal. The winds start to pick up in the afternoons, with some onshore conditions and by the 21st, we've got a fresh breeze blowing at 20 mph, making things choppy and messy on top of the already non-existent surf.

So, here's the bottom line. There is nothing on the menu that I'd call a standout. The only moments that look even remotely surfable are the early mornings early in the period where you have glassy conditions, but you'll be on a 1-foot wave with a 4-second period. That's barely worth the walk. The lack of swell energy is the whole story. It’s a tough run. My honest advice is to find something else to do for the next couple of weeks, because the surf isn't showing up. This lineup is going to be quiet for a while. I'll be checking the charts, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
