The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna level with you straight up – this 16-day window for Apolonia is a tough one. We’ve got a full run of poor surf conditions, and the data doesn’t give us a single standout session to get excited about. The whole period is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing.
The pattern from now through to the 21st of August is flat and small. The swell is consistently tiny, coming in from the WNW, but the period is short, mostly around 6 to 7 seconds. That’s weak, windswell energy. It’s not going to wrap in or offer any power. The combined swell energy is under 100 (weak) for almost the entire stretch, only briefly touching 105 in the afternoon of the 16th and 114/117 on the 17th and 18th, but even then, the wave quality is still rated as poor.
The wind is a problem too. It’s swinging around from the cross to onshore directions almost the whole time. There are a couple of glassy mornings, like Monday the 10th, Tuesday the 11th, and Friday the 21st, but the swell is so minimal (1.0 ft to 2 ft) that it’s barely a ripple. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 85° on the first day, but that doesn’t help the surf.
Given the significant swell directions are wrong for the optimum W direction, the short period, and the persistent onshore wind, the setup at Apolonia (a sandbar) is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no wave to ride.
I’m sorry, but there’s nothing to recommend here. On the bright side, when it’s this flat, it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep your eyes peeled, but for now, the boards stay in the car.
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.
