The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet for Lakouvardos. If you're jonesing for a wave, you're going to have to be patient, because the ocean is going to be taking a long nap for a while.
Looking at the whole 16-day picture, there's really nothing that gets the blood pumping. The swell energy is almost non-existent for the first week, with readings often below 20 and only occasionally creeping into double digits. The water temp is about average for this time of year, which is good, but that's about the only positive I can give you. We're looking at a serious flat spell, and the first few days are going to be a total write-off. The wind is light and variable, but with waves that small, it’s not going to matter.
Early next week, around the 26th, there is a little pulse of energy that shows up. Combined swell energy jumps to 220, which is moderate, and the wave height comes up to 5ft on the Wednesday afternoon. But, and it's a big but, the wind turns moderate cross-onshore, and the period is a weak 7 seconds. It's going to be a lumpy, wind-blown mess, not the clean lines we'd want. It’s not really worth getting excited about. That’s the only real blip of energy in an otherwise forgettable stretch. Honestly, for anyone thinking about this, the setup looks like it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There is another slight lift on the 29th, with 4ft on the Saturday morning and energy reading 129, but again, the north-northwest wind is up at 15 mph and period is only 6 seconds. It's just more of the same: short-period, choppy, cross-shore junk. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a prime example of that. It's a long, dry spell, so if you’re determined, keep your hopes in check and your board in the car for the end of the month, but it's looking far from promising.
Stay patient.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lakouvardos or Lagkouvardos 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.
