The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what this stretch has in store for us. I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty damn flat. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead, so don’t hold your breath for any heroics.
The only spot on the menu is Apolonia, a sandbar break that’s exposed to the west-northwest. It’s an inconsistent little wave, so you really gotta be patient. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with the first real surfable moment not showing up until Wednesday the 16th of September. That’s a solid gap of nearly two weeks of pretty much nothing.
From the 3rd right through to the 18th, the swell is tiny. We’re talking heights of 1.0ft to 1ft most days, with a very short period of 5 to 6 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell – no push, no power. The combined energy is weak, reading between 5 and 22 for most of the early days. The winds are often onshore or cross-onshore from the north-west, making a mess of what little bump there is. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 7th morning with glassy conditions, but the swell is still only 2ft – not enough to get excited about.
The best chance comes on Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning session looks like the pick of the bunch. We get a glassy, calm wind, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the west-northwest with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 97 – still weak, but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so yeah, it’s small, but it’s clean. For a place that’s been dead for weeks, that’s a win. The afternoon on the 16th gets messy with a strong cross-onshore wind though, so don’t sleep in.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit at Apolonia.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s a standout. The morning of the 16th is the only real shot. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. The rest of the time, it’s a dry spell. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Apolonia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Apolonia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Apolonia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Apolonia surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Apolonia) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Apolonia may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
