Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a struggle. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The first real chance of anything worthwhile won't show up until the morning of Sunday, July 19th, so there's a solid week of flat, poor surf to get through before we see any potential.
The main break we're stuck with is Voidokoilia. It's a beginner-friendly spot that's inconsistent and can get a bit of a crowd, but for this whole forecast, it's the only game in town.
The story starts with nothing. From Sunday, July 12th, right through to Saturday, July 18th, it's all tiny, short-period windswell with poor, choppy conditions. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the energy is pathetic, often in the single digits. You'll be fighting a moderate breeze for a 1ft to 2ft dribble. Not worth the paddle.
The only glimmer of hope, and it's a very faint one, is the morning of Sunday, July 19th. The combined energy of all swells directed here jumps to 142 (moderate energy), with a 4ft swell from the NW (6-second period). The big win here is the wind: it's glassy. That's rare. It'll be clean, but the waves are still pretty ordinary. That 6-second period is short and choppy, so don't expect anything with real shape. Because it's a beach break, that short period will just mean a bit of a bumpy close-out. For a beginner, this might be a fun, clean little session.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The rest of the run is a mix of tiny swells, glassy mornings with no size, and onshore winds. The combined energy rarely breaks 30, and the swell height sits around 1ft to 2ft. The early morning of Saturday, July 25th, has a glassy window with a 3ft swell, but it's still poor surf conditions. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
If you're a beginner looking for a clean, small wave, the window on the morning of the 19th is your best bet. For everyone else, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast. It's a long, flat spell ahead.
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.
