Apolonia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right now, the ocean’s got nothing for us. We’re looking at a solid stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions at Apolonia (Apolonia). The first ten days or so are basically a write-off—tiny 1ft to 2ft slop, short-period NW junk at 3 to 6 seconds, and just about every session ruined by cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is barely registering, mostly sitting in the low teens to twenties, with a few brief bumps to 30–40, but that’s still weak stuff. Water temp is 85.6°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s a real standout, but it won’t help the surf.

There is a long gap here. From now through the 28th, it’s basically one flat day after another. The 23rd morning shows a little pulse—2.5ft, WNW, with glassy conditions—but it’s still short-period and the afternoon gets blown out. The 25th and 26th mornings are the first real hints of life: 2.5ft to 3ft, WNW, with clean glass in the morning, but the energy is still weak (48–79) and the period is only 7 seconds. It’s surfable, but barely—you’d be scratching for any kind of shape.

The standout, such as it is, comes on the morning of the 30th. That’s when we finally see something worth paddling out for: 2.5ft, NNW swell, 6-second period, with glassy conditions and light offshore NW winds. The combined energy jumps to 48—still moderate but a clear step up from everything before it. The swell direction is off the NNW, which matches what the break wants, and with clean morning conditions, you might actually catch a few peelers on the sandbar. It’s not big, it’s not powerful, but after two weeks of nothing, it’ll feel like a gift.

That afternoon on the 30th, though, the wind switches to a cross-onshore NW breeze and the surf chops up fast. So if you’re going to make a move, hit it early.

Overall, this is a lean stretch. Apolonia is inconsistent anyway, and this forecast shows exactly why—long flat spells, weak energy, and poor alignment. The 30th morning is the only real window worth chasing, and even then, keep expectations low. It’s not a day to bring the quiver—just the fun board and a patient attitude.
