Kastro Point (Parga) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window, but it’s basically a flat spell with hardly a ripple worth paddling for. The only break on the radar is Kastro Point (Parga), and it’s an inconsistent spot that rarely breaks. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath, but you won’t be needing a wetsuit.

From Tuesday the 18th right through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny. We’re talking 0.7 ft at best, with periods around 3 to 5 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not real surf. The combined swell energy is basically zero, with readings like 1 or 2 (weak energy). Mornings are glassy, which is beautiful, but there’s nothing to ride. Afternoons get a bit of cross-onshore wind, but it’s all for nothing.

There’s a slight blip on Friday the 21st afternoon, with 1 ft from the west and a 4-second period, but the energy is still only 6 (weak) and the wind is cross-shore, creating a slight chop. Not worth getting excited about.

The second week is even quieter. From the 22nd of August through to the 2nd of September, most days show zero swell. A few mornings have glassy conditions, and on the 28th of August Friday morning there’s a clean offshore wind, but again – no waves. The 30th of August Sunday afternoon shows a tiny bump of 1.0 ft from the WNW with a 5-second period and energy of 6 (weak), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy.

Honestly, there are no standouts here. This is a 16-day stretch with no surf worth mentioning. If you’re dead set on getting wet, you’d be better off with a kite setup on the breezy afternoons – there’s enough wind, but the waves just aren’t there for paddle surfing. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s a flat spell.

Rusty.
