The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get you the goods on what’s coming up for Apolonia.
First off, we’ve got a real quiet stretch ahead. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at Apolonia, so you’ll be comfortable in boardshorts. The trouble is, the swell energy is weak for the first several days. We’re talking combined energy of only 15 to 87 (weak), with tiny waves around 2ft to 4ft and short, weak periods of 5 to 7 seconds. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, adding some chop. It’s a tough start for any real surfing.
The first real glimmer of something worth paddling out for shows up on Saturday, July 25th. The swell picks up to 5ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 344 (moderate wave energy). That’s a noticeable bump. The morning has a cross wind, but the afternoon swings directly onshore, which will mess up the shape. Still, for a sandbar that’s inconsistent and often crowded, this is a brief window of hope. The water is still a touch warmer than normal, so it’s pleasant.
From Sunday, July 26th through the rest of the forecast, it’s back to marginal or poor conditions. The swell drops to 1ft to 4ft, with combined energy mostly under 100 (weak). The winds are often cross-onshore or onshore, so forget about clean faces. The best you’ll see is a “marginal” call on a couple of mornings, like Sunday, July 26th morning, and Monday, July 27th morning, but even then it’s a long shot. The spot is inconsistent, so a blank run like this is not unusual for Apolonia. It’s a sandbar that needs a proper swell and clean wind to work, and we’re just not getting that combo.
Honestly, the standout is that Saturday, July 25th, especially the morning session. It’s the only time the swell gets above 5ft, making it a bit much for beginners, but it’s the best energy of the entire 16-day window. After that, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, the next few weeks look like a write-off for decent surf.
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.
