The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Apolonia over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak, and messy surf. The first real shot at anything even worth paddling for doesn’t show up until Wednesday, August 19th, which is a full 16 days away. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, churning it all up. For a sandbar that’s inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn’t totally out of the blue, but it’s still a bummer. The only real stand-out, and I mean the *only* one, is that Wednesday morning on the 19th.
We finally get a glassy morning on August 19th. The wind goes dead calm, and the water gets that smooth, oily look we all crave. The swell is a humble 3 ft from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch, but it’s clean. The combined energy is a weak (49), so it’s just a dribble. But with zero wind, that little dribble will be the cleanest, most user-friendly wave we’ve seen in weeks. It’s a beginner-friendly spot anyway, so this is really the only window for a super casual, small-wave session.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, to sum it up: the next two weeks are mostly a write-off for Apolonia. Don’t waste your time checking the forecast. But if you’re desperate and patient, mark your calendar for Wednesday, August 19th, for a tiny, glassy, and clean morning. That’s your one shot.
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.
