Zaga (Koroni) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks for Zaga.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you... it's gonna be a long, quiet stretch. We're looking at a massive gap with no surf on offer at all from now all the way through to the morning of Monday the 14th of September. That's a solid two-week dry spell for the Zaga (Koroni) area. The water's sitting at a balmy 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won't help you catch anything. It's not that the wind's bad, we get plenty of clean, glassy mornings, especially Tuesday the 1st, Monday the 7th and Wednesday the 9th of September, but there's just no swell energy to work with. The combined energy is sitting at zero (0) for most of this time, and we're seeing dashes for the swell height. It's a total flat spell.

Eventually, we start to see a pulse of tiny, weak energy creeping in. Monday afternoon on the 14th of September, we finally get some movement: a little 3ft swell from the SE at a short 4 seconds. The energy is still low at 19. The wind will be a light cross-offshore, so the surface could be clean, but that swell is tiny and short-period. It's a "poor surf conditions" call for a reason. This little wobbly wave is about as exciting as a flat soda.

The best on offer—and I use that term loosely—looks to be in the final couple of days. By Wednesday the 16th of September, we get a pulse of swell from the SSE. The morning will see a 3ft at 6 seconds, but the afternoon picks up to 4ft at 6 seconds, with a combined energy jumping to 232 (moderate wave energy). It's still not much height, but the period is still short, so it's not the kind of groundswell that really draws you in. The wind will be a cross-offshore moderate breeze, keeping it clean. Even then, the forecast still says "poor surf conditions." It’s a beach and point setup, and the optimum swell direction is from the SSE, so at least the direction is right for the little bump we get. It might be a bit too weak for a beginner, but for an expert just wanting to wet a board, it's better than nothing.

Overall, it’s a tough outlook. We’ve got one tiny window to maybe get a few pushy, short-period waves in the second week. Don't hold your breath for the first two weeks. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal, so don't lose hope. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the bag.

Rusty.
