Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for this stretch of coast.

Honestly, it's a pretty flat run for the next week and a half at Amoudia Left (Greece). We're looking at a long, quiet spell with barely a ripple. There's nothing worth paddling out for from now until at least the 18th of August. The odd tiny pulse shows up, but with wave heights barely reaching 1 foot and combined swell energy sitting at a measly 1 to 5, it's all "poor surf conditions." You'd be better off with a cold drink in hand than a surfboard.

That all changes around the 19th of August. The morning starts to show some promise with a clean 1 ft swell from the southwest, and the combined energy ticks up to 10. It's still small, but the winds are glassy, so it's a chance for a longboard or a funboard. The real interest, though, is the Wednesday afternoon. The swell jumps to 3 ft from the south, and the combined energy hits 45. It's a short-period swell (4 seconds), so it won't have much punch, but that's the biggest we've seen in a fortnight. The wind will be onshore, making it a bit lumpy, but for the local crew who are desperate, it's the best on offer.

Nothing else in the window comes close. The 21st of August morning has a clean 1 ft from the west-southwest with a 6-second period, but it's still small. The standout, if you can call it that, remains the afternoon of the 19th. Don't expect a classic point-break session; the short period and onshore wind mean it will be more of a messy, fun scramble than a smooth ride. For beginners, that 3 ft might be a bit much with the chop, so it's more for the intermediate crew.

Alright, that's the long and short of it. Not much to get excited about for a while, but things look like they might wake up a little towards the end of the run.

Rusty.
