The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – this stretch ain’t exactly firing. For the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single session I’d tell you to paddle out for. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions don’t line up. We’re looking at a long, quiet run.
The one spot on the radar is Apolonia, a sandbar break that’s inconsistent and often has crew on it. The swell direction is opt for W, but what’s coming through is mostly WNW and NW, so it’s not hitting right. The early part of the period, from Sunday 6th September right through to Monday 21st September, is just flat or blown out. You’ll see a few little bumps – like Wednesday morning 9th September, where there’s a 2ft swell from WNW at 9 seconds, with glassy conditions and weak energy (72). That’s the best of a bad lot, but honestly, it’s still just surfable, not good. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Most days are glassy or cross-shore, but the swell is too small – 1ft to 3ft – and the period is short, mostly 4 to 7 seconds, so there’s no push. The combined energy never cracks triple digits, staying in the weak range (as low as 4 to 72). On the rare occasion the wind goes offshore or glassy, the swell just isn’t there. When there’s a puff of wind, it’s choppy or onshore. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re desperate for a slide.
So, no standouts, no hidden gems. The whole 16 days is a gap with nothing worth chasing. But this spot is inconsistent by nature, so a blank run like this isn’t shocking. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the wax.
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.
