The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at this stretch of coast. I've got to be straight with you – this isn't shaping up to be a classic. The energy just isn't there for the most part.
We’re kicking off on Saturday, July 25th. There's a bit of swell around, 5ft from the WNW, and the water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 84°. But that's where the good news ends. The wind is a stiff cross-shore breeze, and the combined energy is weak at 344. It's messy out there, and there's no point getting excited about it. That afternoon the wind swings onshore and it's even worse.
Through Sunday and into the start of the next week, the swell drops right off and onshore winds keep things ugly. By Monday the 27th, we get a tiny flicker of hope – a 4ft WNW swell with a light cross-onshore breeze and the combined energy creeping up to 161. But it's just a marginal window at best, with questionable conditions likely. It's not going to be something you'd race down for.
Honestly, after that little tease, it's a long dry spell. From Tuesday the 28th all the way through to the end of the second week, it's almost nothing but knee-to-waist high slop, with onshore or cross-shore winds and no power. The combined energy readings just hover in the weak range, often under 50. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 31st and August 1st, but with swell barely hitting 2ft, you’d be surfing on a lake. Kite surfers might find this setup more interesting than we will.
This is a tough outlook. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is a proper blank run. Don't bother paddling out unless you're desperate for a float.
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.
