The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for Vouliagmeni is a tough one to call surf on. There’s a whole lot of flat, clean conditions, but the ocean is just not doing its job. If you’re looking for a wave, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
The first bit of real swell we see is on the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd. It’s a tiny pulse, just 0.7 ft from the south, with a period of only 3 seconds. That’s basically a lake ripple. The combined energy is a measly 1 (weak). It’s glassy, sure, but that’s a day for a swim, not a surf. The next flicker comes on Saturday, July 25th morning: a 1.0 ft south swell with a 5-second period, and a combined energy of 5 (still weak). Offshore winds from the north at 22 mph will keep it clean, but there’s just no power in the water. That’s it for the whole 16 days—those two tiny, tiny windows.
The rest of the period is a flat desert. Long gaps of nothing. From the afternoon of July 25th right through to August 1st, there’s zero wave energy recorded. Zilch. So if you’re dreaming of a wave, you’re out of luck.
The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s notably warm, so the dip is nice, but it doesn’t help the surf.
Given the complete lack of consistent swell, there’s nothing to recommend. Even the best wind days—like the glassy Sunday afternoon of July 19th or the glassy morning of July 27th—are all flat. For a spot like Vouliagmeni that’s inconsistent anyway, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.

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