The Lowdown
G'day, it’s Rusty here.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a write-off for surf around Alykes. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with not a single rideable wave in the forecast for the entire 16-day window. There are a couple of tiny bumps, but they’re barely ankle-biters and come with messy wind, so they’re not worth getting wet for. You’d be better off finding another hobby for a while.
The first few days, from the 19th through to the 24th of August, are completely flat. The ocean’s like a sheet of glass each morning, and the afternoons just have that clean, cross-off breeze setting up but with zero swell underneath it. Nothing to do. The mornings are your best bet for a glassy paddle, but bring a book, not a board. There’s a tiny 1ft blip from the NW on the Friday afternoon (21st), but the period’s only 2 seconds, so it’s just wind chop, not surf. Weak energy too, coming in at just 1 in the combined swell energy stakes.
The same story continues right through the next week. Flat mornings, clean-ish afternoons, but nothing on the horizon. The 27th has a small 2ft bump from the north with a period of 4 seconds, giving a combined energy of 9, but that’s still weak and pretty much unsurfable. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and picks up to 19 mph, so any hope of a ripple gets chopped to bits. The 28th brings a 1ft SE bump with a 3-second period, but again, weak energy and that cross-shore wind builds to 22 mph, creating proper lumpy cross-chop. Not a pretty picture.
We then roll into September, and it’s the same deal. The 2nd and 3rd show a bit of NE swell, coming in at 2ft to 2ft with a 4-second period, but it’s accompanied by a fresh onshore NE breeze at 16-19 mph. This is the biggest swell of the whole stretch, but it’s windblown, weak (combined energy maxes out at 11), and on the shore. That’s not an inviting wave—it’s just messy, blown-out slop. For a beginner spot like Alykes, this is completely unsurfable.
So there you have it. A total flat spell. The good news? If this area can string a few consistent days together, it doesn't stay this poor forever. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath for this window.
Rusty.
