Zaga (Koroni) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a straight look at what’s on the table for Zaga over the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a tough one. The long-range picture isn't delivering much hope, but let’s break it down day by day.

Right now, and for the entire 16-day window, we’re looking at a persistent stretch of flat or near-flat conditions. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 84°F which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a dip in the ocean would be pleasant, but as for waves? Barely a whisper. The combined swell energy is at zero for most of the period, only occasionally ticking up to a meagre 1 to 8, which is just about as weak as it gets. The direction that works best for Zaga is SSE according to the books, but with the swell energy that low, it doesn't matter much.

Starting from now, Sunday 6th September, through the whole first week, all the way to the weekend, it’s a big fat zero. Mornings offer glassy or offshore conditions with light north or north-northwest breezes, but there’s simply no swell to make it worthwhile. Even the tiny 0.3ft pulse from the SE on Tuesday 8th September with a period of 4 seconds is barely a ripple – combined energy of just 1. The afternoons tend to pick up a cross or cross-onshore breeze from the southwest, making things choppy and messy, but again, no swell means no surf.

Moving into the second week, the story doesn’t improve. From 14th September to 21st September, we’re still stuck in the same pattern. The biggest “surf” we see is on Thursday 17th September with a 2ft SSE swell at 5 seconds, giving a combined energy of 15. That’s not surf, that’s a lake with a light breeze. The mornings on 18th September offer a tiny 1ft SSE swell and offshore NNW winds at 6 mph, but with energy at 5, you’d be better off finding a swimming pool to practice pop-ups.

Honestly, this is a classic run of flat days for Zaga. The spot itself is a sheltered beach and point break that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms exactly that. There isn’t a single standout moment – nothing that qualifies as a recommendation. It’s a solid 16-day gap of no surf to speak of. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with moderate cross-onshore breeze might get you moving, but for a paddle surfer, you’d be wasting your time. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.

Rusty.
