Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for this little stretch of coastline.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s looking pretty flat and grim for the foreseeable future. We’re talking about a long stretch of nothing much, really. From the start of the period right through until Saturday the 19th of July, the surf is basically a write-off. There’s a few tiny pulses here and there, but they’re all coming in under 2ft with weak, short-period energy that just won’t stack up. The combined wave energy is often in the single digits (like 1, 2, 6) – that’s barely a ripple. The winds are sometimes glassy, but when there’s no swell, that doesn’t matter a bit.

You’ll see some glassy mornings, particularly around the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th of July, but again, the swell is pretty much absent. It’s a tough run, and this kind of blank spell, while frustrating, isn’t totally abnormal for this area when the consistency is listed as “inconsistent.”

Then, finally, we get a little flicker of life. On Sunday morning, the 19th of July, there’s a bit of a pulse showing up at Amoudia Left. The swell bumps up to about 4ft from the NW, with a short period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 91 – still weak, but it's the best we’ve seen in two weeks. The wind is forecast to be glassy from the ESE, which will make for clean, smooth faces. Now, 4ft with a 5-second period isn’t going to blow your mind – it’ll be a bit lumpy and weak – but after all that flatness, it’s the one and only standout. The water temp is sitting at a notable 79°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

So, in the second week, don’t hold your breath for anything else. This Sunday morning window is your only real shot. Don’t expect perfection, but it’s surfable. Get out there if you can.

Rusty.
