Voidokoilia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Voidokoilia over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch. The finder’s showing next to nothing worthwhile for the whole 16-day window, so there’s a big ol’ gap of flat, unrideable days. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show until Thursday the 23rd of July, and even then it’s pretty average.

Alright, starting out, there’s absolutely nothing on Tuesday the 21st or Wednesday the 22nd of July – dead flat.

Thursday the 23rd of July morning sees a tiny little pulse, 3 ft from the WNW with a period of just 5 seconds. That’s weak, short-period chop, and the wind’s a moderate cross-onshore from the NNW at 12 mph, making it choppy. Combined energy is a measly 31 – total mush. Afternoon’s not much better, 3 ft but still cross-onshore and messy.

Friday the 24th of July, the swell drops back to 1 ft in the morning and 2 ft in the afternoon. The wind swings fresh cross-onshore in the arvo, up to 19 mph, lumping it up. Energy’s down to 14 and 7. Poor.

Saturday the 25th of July morning is the first time it looks somewhat clean. We’ve got light cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 6 mph, and the swell is 3 ft from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds. The conditions are clean, and the combined energy is a modest 54. It’s small, but for a total beginner at Voidokoilia, this might be the best of a bad bunch. The afternoon though, gets rain showers and a messy cross-onshore.

Sunday the 26th of July morning is glassy – wind from the N at just 3 mph – but the swell is tiny, only 1 ft. Energy is 14. You might get a few ankle-biters if you’re desperate. Afternoon goes onshore again.

After that, from Monday the 27th of July right through to Wednesday the 5th of August, it’s a long run of tiny, weak swells (mostly under 2 ft) and onshore or cross-onshore winds. A few mornings show glassy or clean conditions (like Thursday the 30th of July morning, Saturday the 1st of August morning, and Tuesday the 4th of August morning), but the swell is just too small – 0.7 ft to 2 ft – to do anything on. The combined energy values are all well under 100, mostly in the single or low double digits. It’s frustrating.

The water temperature is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 83° – that’s a big anomaly of 3°, so you won’t be needing a wetsuit, but that’s the only good news.

Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s no standout. The closest to a decent window is Saturday the 25th of July morning when it’s clean and you might scrape a ride on a 3 ft wave, but it’s still weak. If you’re a beginner wanting to practice paddling in clean but tiny conditions, that’s your lot. For anyone else, it’s a flat spell. The inconsistency of Voidokoilia is really showing here – it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a bust. Not worth getting the board wet unless you’re just floating.

Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a genuine blank run.
