Agios Theologos (Kos) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for the Kos region. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don’t be holding your breath for a good session.

Right off the bat, the only break on the radar is Agios Theologos (Kos) . It’s a beginner spot, inconsistent, and open to the north-northwest. The water temperature is sitting at 75°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing wild there.

The first real chance of a wave comes on Monday the 20th of July, but it’s a write-off. We’re talking a tiny 2ft swell from the northwest, with a short, weak 4-second period. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is a measly (14) – basically flat. Not one to paddle out for.

Tuesday the 21st sees a bit more size, with 4ft to 4ft of north-northwest/northwest swell, but the wind picks up to 22 mph, still cross to cross-onshore. The period is still a short 5 seconds, and the energy is weak to moderate (56-62). The surf is described as poor, lumpy, and cross-chop. Honestly, it’s a mess.

Wednesday the 22nd through Friday the 24th is a repeat of the same story: small, weak swell (1ft to 4ft), short periods (3-5 seconds), and fresh onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy never gets above 64, and it’s all “poor surf conditions.” You’d be better off doing something else.

Saturday the 25th of July is the closest we get to a stand-out, but even then, it’s not great. The swell bumps up to 5ft to 5ft from the northwest, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally hits moderate (147-155) – some actual push. But the wind is a fresh cross to cross-onshore breeze at 19 to 22 mph. The surf is lumpy and cross-chop. For a beginner spot, 5ft is a bit of a handful, and the wind is cruel. Not recommended.

The rest of the window from Sunday the 26th of July all the way to Tuesday the 4th of August is a total loss. The swell drops off, the wind stays onshore or cross, and the energy is virtually non-existent (0-89). There’s even a day of glassy calm on the 28th of July, but with no swell at all. That’s a cruel tease.

So, the honest truth: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The entire forecast is a blank run. The winds are persistent and wrong, the swell is either too small, too short-period, or both. It’s a tough stretch for the area, but it happens. Don’t force it. Keep an eye out for a change in the pattern.

Rusty.
