The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down in feet and miles per hour for you.
Same story: it’s gonna be a quiet run. The only break on the menu is Apolonia, a sandbar, and for the first week or more, it’s pretty dead.
From now through to about Saturday, July 25th, the waves are just weak. You’ll see some ankle-to-knee high stuff—around 1ft to 3ft—but the wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell energy is feeble, peaking at just 91 (weak energy) early on. Not a single session registers as good.
There’s a long dry spell: from the 16th right through the 24th, every forecast is “poor surf conditions.” Over a week of nothing.
The first real chance of something rideable comes on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. The swell hits 5ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the energy finally climbs to 238 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SSW. It’s only “marginal,” but it’s the best we’ll see. A couple of days later, on Monday morning, July 27th, a tiny 3ft WNW swell pairs with glassy conditions—the only glassy window in the whole outlook—so if you want clean but small, that’s your window.
No standout here. Water temp is about 82°F, which is normal for this time of year. The whole setup is weak and winds are choppy, so honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding spot than a surf spot for the next couple of weeks.
Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
