G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Apolonia are a bit of a write-off. The swell is just too small and weak, and the wind is all over the place. There’s no real stand-out session, nothing that gets the heart racing.
Starting Monday 13 July, we’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds and weak energy (29). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 82°. The wind is cross-on from the SW, so it’s choppy. Forget about it. Tuesday’s the same, just a bit more cross-shore wind. Wednesday 15 July bumps up to 3ft and the period stretches to 8 seconds, but it’s still onshore. The combined energy is only 85 – that’s weak. Thursday morning is the only day that scrapes a “1” score, but it’s still marginal with cross-onshore wind and 3ft of weak swell. Friday through to the end of the first week is all tiny, onshore junk.
Then we hit a gap. From Saturday 18 July through to Tuesday 28 July, it’s the same story: swell barely cracking 2-3ft, short periods, onshore winds, and energy readings that are mostly in the teens or single digits. The combined energy on 25 July jumps to 226 in the afternoon, but that’s still only moderate, and the 4ft swell is onshore and messy. The wind is never properly offshore, just a mix of cross and cross-on, with a few glassy moments on Saturday 18 July morning but with only 2ft of poor swell. It’s a long, flat, frustrating run.
The only real option is for the true beginners who just want to paddle around, but even then, the conditions are poor. The swell direction is WNW, but the optimum for Apolonia is W, so it’s not even hitting the sandbar right. The break is inconsistent, and when it’s this small, it rarely breaks at all. This isn’t a spot for a last-minute dash; it’s a spot to scratch off the list until the forecasts change.
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.
