The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The outlook for Lakouvardos (Greece) is a tough one. Over the next two weeks, we’re looking at a real desert of surfable waves. The data shows a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with the first real glimmer of something interesting not arriving until around the 5th of September.
We kick off from Sunday the 23rd of August with nothing but small, weak, and messy waves. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 83°F, but that’s where the good news ends. The first week is a write-off: tiny swell heights barely reaching 2ft, periods of only 3 to 5 seconds, and combined energy readings stuck in the low single digits (16, 12, 8…). The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, churning up the surface. Even the glassy mornings on the 27th and 28th of August – with a light NE wind – can’t save the day because the swell is just too weak and poorly formed. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” for every single session. There’s a gap of about 12 days here with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only potential highlight comes on Saturday, the 5th of September. The morning shows a bump in swell to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 203 (moderate energy). This is the largest swell of the entire forecast. The wind is light from the north, creating a cross-shore breeze with small ripples. However, the guidance still rates the surf as “marginal” with a score of 1, and the afternoon turns onshore. This is a long-range call, so keep your hopes in check. For a beginner spot that is inconsistent, this size is a bit much anyway.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, this stretch of coast is a bust. The setup is more interesting for a flat day of sightseeing than for paddle surfing. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Lakouvardos or Lagkouvardos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lakouvardos or Lagkouvardos 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 (Lakouvardos or Lagkouvardos) 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 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. 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.
