Amoudia Left Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – the next couple of weeks around Amoudia Left are pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple for days on end. The first real sign of life doesn’t pop up until Wednesday the 22nd of July, and even then it’s not much to write home about. You’ll be waiting a full week-plus from now for anything that even gets a second look.

Let’s run through it. From now through to the 21st, it’s flat. Tiny, short-period dribbles, weak energy (like 2 to 30 range), and mostly glassy but with nothing to ride. The water temp is sitting at a toasty 79°, feeling a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re staring at a flat ocean.

Then, on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July, we finally get a pulse. Swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NW, with a 6-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 122 (moderate). Winds are glassy – dead calm – so it’ll be clean. But the conditions are still described as “very ordinary,” and the wave state is just surfable, not good. It’s a start, but not a standout.

The real standout, the only one worth circling on the calendar, is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. That’s when we see a proper spike: 5 ft of swell from the NW, with a 7-second period, and combined energy hitting 251 (strong). Winds are glassy, dead calm, making for clean, glassy conditions. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is it – the best on offer. For a point break like Amoudia Left, that NW swell is bang on the optimum direction, and with those clean morning winds, it’ll be a beauty. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and can get crowded often, so get in early.

After that, the afternoon of the 25th gets messy with onshore wind, and the 26th drops right back to tiny, weak junk. So, really, you’ve got one morning, two weeks from now, to make it count. Bit of a bummer, but that’s the hand we’re dealt.

Rusty.
