Kastro Point (Parga) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Parga.

To be straight with you, this is shaping up as one of those classic Mediterranean summer flat spells. We’re looking at a long stretch of near-zero surf right through. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show until Monday the 28th of July, and even then it’s tiny. Before that, from today (Thursday the 23rd) all the way through to Sunday the 27th, the combined swell energy is basically zero or just a single unit (1) – that’s a big fat nothing.

Let’s talk Kastro Point (Parga). This is an advanced, inconsistent point break that needs a specific SSW swell to work. The water’s sitting at a very warm 81°F, which is over 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a notable anomaly, so it’s going to feel like a bath.

The best we can hope for happens on Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th of July. On the 28th, the early morning is glassy calm with an offshore breeze, and we’ve got a tiny bit of 3ft swell from the WSW at a 6 second period. That’s a weak, short-period windswell, with combined energy sitting at just 45 – barely a pulse. The direction is cross-off, which is decent for the lineup if it matches the break. Tuesday the 29th is similar, with glassy mornings and a bit of 1ft to 2ft swell from the SW. Look, these are not waves you’d paddle out for unless you’re desperate to get wet. It’s a long period of flatness (23rd to 27th), then a tiny blip of energy that’s barely surfable.

This is an inconsistent spot that rarely breaks properly, so a long blank run like this isn’t unusual here. For now, the setup looks more interesting for a SUP or a swim than a proper surf. The long-range stuff into the first week of August shows nothing but flat, calm conditions again. Keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
