The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you – the next 16 days at Voidokoilia are a real bummer for surfing. We're looking at a long stretch of barely anything to ride. The first recommendation doesn't come up until the 5th of August, and even then, it's not good news.
So, starting Wednesday morning the 5th of August, we've got tiny 1ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of just 3 seconds – that's pure wind chop, no power behind it. Combined wave energy is a feeble 2, and with a cross-shore wind, it's all mess and no magic. The water's sitting at 80.8°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That afternoon doesn't get any better – 2ft swell but with a moderate cross-onshore breeze making it choppy.
The whole first week is just a write-off. Day after day we see similar tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, mostly from the WNW, with periods that never even hit 8 seconds. The winds are mostly cross-onshore or choppy conditions. The only bright spots are a few glassy mornings, like on the 12th and 13th of August, but with swell heights of 0.7ft and combined energy of just 1 or 2, it's flat. You'd be sitting on your board doing nothing.
Heading into the second week, it's more of the same. The 16th of August has a glassy morning but no swell at all. We see a slight bump on the 18th of August with 1.3ft and a period of 5 seconds, but it's cross-onshore and the energy is only 10. Honestly, for any surfer wanting a wave, this is a complete blank run. This just isn't a time of year for waves here. If you've got a kite, though, some of those afternoons with stronger cross-onshore winds and small chop might be the only thing worth looking at. The best surf on offer is nowhere near good enough to recommend. Save your energy.

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.
