The Lowdown
Let me level with you. This is gonna be a tough one for us at Apolonia. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s really nothing to get excited about at this sandbar. The west-northwest swell direction is coming in from the wrong side for this spot, which already puts us behind the eight ball.
Water temp is sitting at 86°, a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so that’s about the only thing that feels nice if you’re in the water.
The only morning that’s even worth paddling out is Sunday the 16th. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the west-northwest, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s not going to have much push. The combined energy is still weak at 95. But the wind is glassy – dead calm – and that clean surface is a major positive. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Expect it to be inconsistent since the break rarely turns on with this direction.
After that, we hit a long gap. From Monday the 17th all the way through to Thursday the 27th, every session is poor or marginal. The swell drops to 1ft to 3ft, period hangs around 5-7 seconds, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. There’s just no energy to work with.
Right at the very end of the window, Friday morning the 28th through Saturday the 29th, the swell finally bumps up. On Saturday morning the 29th we see 5ft from the west-northwest at 9 seconds, with combined energy hitting 397 (moderate wave energy). That’s the biggest swell of the outlook, but the wind is cross-shore and moderate, and the direction is still wrong for this break. The forecast still calls it poor. Too much mess for too little reward.
Overall, this stretch is a blank run for Apolonia. It’s not unusual for this area when the swell angle is off, but I’d keep an eye on the longer range because forecasts can change – we might get a cleaner window closer to the end.

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.
