The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, straight off the bat, it's a bit of a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with very little to get excited about. For the first nine days or so, from Friday the 21st of August right through to the end of the month, the surf is going to be flat and weak. We're looking at tiny, short-period windswell from the WNW, mostly under 2ft, with periods around 4 to 6 seconds. The wind is on it or cross-on for most of that time, too. The combined wave energy is pathetic, sitting in the single digits or low teens. It's pretty much a write-off. There are a couple of glassy mornings on Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, but the swell is so small it's barely a ripple. The water is sitting at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only faint glimmer in the first week comes on Sunday the 30th of August. The morning session at Apolonia might just be worth a look. The wind goes glassy with a light NNW breeze, and the swell is up to 2ft from the WNW at an 8-second period. The combined energy is a paltry 52 (moderate), and the conditions are still just "surfable but very ordinary". It's a sandbar break that's inconsistent, and it's often crowded, so don't expect much. It's the best of a bad bunch, but it's not a standout.
Moving into the first week of September, there's a slight bump. On Tuesday the 1st of September, the morning swell picks up to 4ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy finally hits 149 (moderate). But the wind is light and cross-shore, and the notes say the conditions are poor. It's not exactly clean, but it's the biggest swell we've seen.
Then on Friday the 4th of September, we get another early morning window. The wind is glassy from the WSW, and the swell is a consistent 3ft from the WNW. The energy is 76 (moderate), and the conditions are once again just "surfable but very ordinary".
So, what's the pick? Honestly, there isn't a single true standout. The best on offer, if you're desperate, is the Sunday the 30th of August morning at Apolonia for the glassy conditions, or the Tuesday the 1st of September morning for the biggest swell. But neither is a winner. For a break that's inconsistent and often crowded, with only small, average swell and mostly onshore wind, this is a period to find something else to do. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the consistent wind.
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.
