The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the Voidokoilia stretch. I’ve looked over the next 16 days, and I’m sorry to say it’s a grim outlook. There’s nothing worth paddling out for in the entire window.
From Wednesday, August 26th, all the way through to Thursday, September 10th, it’s flat. We’re talking about surf heights that barely hit 3 feet, and the periods are short, mostly 3 to 7 seconds. That means no power, no real shape. The wave energy is tiny, never getting above a weak 56 on the 5th of September. It’s mostly small, choppy junk.
The water is a warm 83°F, which is much warmer than usual for the season, but that doesn’t help when the waves are non-existent.
Voidokoilia is a beginner-friendly spot that doesn’t break often, and it’s reasonably open to swell. A few mornings, like Thursday, August 27th, and again on September 5th, look totally glassy—perfect conditions for a session, if there were any swell. But the tiny waves we get are coming from the NW or WNW, not the preferred WSW direction.
To be blunt, don’t bother. The consistent cross-onshore winds and small, clean conditions would be better for kiteboarding than surfing. This kind of flat spell is normal for the area, so we just have to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the Voidokoilia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Voidokoilia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Voidokoilia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Voidokoilia 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 (Voidokoilia) 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 Voidokoilia 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.
