The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Voidokoilia over the next couple of weeks. I'm looking at the charts and, well, I'll be straight with you – the first ten days or so are pretty quiet. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak swells and generally poor conditions, so don't bother checking the cam until we get closer to the end of the month.
From Monday the 14th right through to Saturday the 26th of September, it's a real struggle. The swell is barely a whisper, mostly hanging around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a combined energy that's often just a handful (12 to 18). The period is short and choppy, and the winds are all over the shop. You'll see some glassy moments, like on Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, but with zero swell (1 to 2 combined energy) there's literally nothing to ride. It's a flat spell, no two ways about it. For a spot like Voidokoilia, which can be a bit inconsistent, a blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary.
Now, hold onto your boards, because things finally change on Sunday the 27th of September. That morning, a proper pulse of groundswell shows up. We're talking a solid 8 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to a hefty 732. That's a moderate-to-strong amount of energy. The wind is a light offshore from the NE, which should keep it clean. This is a significant swell – over 8 ft, so this is strictly for the experienced crew. It's a lot of power for a beginner. That morning session on the 27th is the standout of the whole period.
And if you can wait one more day, Monday the 28th of September looks even better on paper. The morning brings an 8 ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 946. What makes this one special is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions with zero wind from the ESE. You can't ask for cleaner surf than that. Again, the size makes it expert territory only.
So, to wrap it up: the first 12 days are a write-off for surf. Your only real chances are on the morning of Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th of September. The 28th, with that glassy morning, is the true pick of the bunch for those with the skills to handle it. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit should do you fine.
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.
