The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Apolonia. This is a tricky one, I’m not gonna lie. The sandbar is inconsistent, so it’s a spot that needs everything to line up, and unfortunately, the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak overall. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 84°F.
We’re starting out with a long gap of no good surf. The first few days are just a write-off. Tuesday the 28th has a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, but the wind is onshore and the wave energy is weak (34). It’s a no-go. Wednesday and Thursday are the same story – poor conditions and very weak energy.
Friday morning the 31st of July offers a tiny glimmer. The swell is still only 2ft from the WNW, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive for clean conditions, but the waves are still just ordinary. The wave energy is still weak (59). It’s surfable, but barely. The glassy window is short-lived as the wind swings back onshore in the afternoon.
After that, we drop right back into nothing. The weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of August is a bust with more onshore wind and weak energy. Through the first full week of August, the trend continues: small swell, weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, but the swell is only 2ft with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy is just 31. It’s not enough to get excited about.
The entire second week is a write-off. The swell drops right off and the energy goes into the single digits.
Right, the hard truth: there are no standouts in this 16-day window. Apolonia is a spot that rarely breaks well, and this forecast proves it. The best chance you have is that glassy Friday morning on the 31st of July, but even then, you’re hunting for a ripple. For the rest of it, you’re looking at a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the conditions don’t line up. It’s a waiting game, my friends.
Stay salty, 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.
