Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a real mixed bag at Amoudia Left. We’ve got a long wait for any real energy, and even when it does show up, it’s not going to be anything to write home about. The start is basically flat, so don’t bother paddling out.

We’re looking at a serious gap of over a week, from now right through to the 30th of August. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the energy readings are all in the single digits. It’s just flat, glassy mornings and onshore afternoon slop. Nothing to get excited about.

Then, on the morning of Monday the 31st of August, we finally get a pulse. It’s a bit of a weird one. A 4ft swell from the northwest rolls in, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 151, which is at least moderate, and the morning is glassy with offshore winds from the east. For a point break like Amoudia Left, which is inconsistent, this is a rare chance to see some waves. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 82°, so that’s a nice bonus. The swell direction is northwest, and the optimum for this spot is west, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the only window of the whole forecast that has any real size. The swell is under 5ft, so it’s fine for intermediates, but the short period means it won’t have much power. It’s a genuine standout only because the rest of the forecast is so bleak.

The afternoon of the 31st drops off quickly, and from there, we’re back to tiny, weak surf. The morning of the 2nd of September shows a breath of clean, offshore wind, but the swell is just 1ft, so it’s really not worth the effort. The rest of the first week of September is a wasteland, with the energy dropping to zero and no swell on the charts.

Honestly, this is a tough stretch. That Monday morning the 31st of August is your one and only shot for a few tiny, clean waves. Pounce on it, but don’t expect a classic session. The rest of the time, find something else to do.

Rusty.
