The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for Alykes over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough run. The forecast is showing a whole lot of flatness with no real swell energy to speak of. We’re staring down a long, dry spell that kicks off on the 22nd of July and runs all the way through to the 5th of August with barely a ripple. The water is a balmy 28°, which is much warmer than normal for this time – like bathwater, but with nothing to ride.
The occasional tiny wave pops up, like on the 24th of July afternoon with a weak 1ft from the NW and a period of only 3 seconds, but the combined energy is a measly (3) – barely a bump. The wind is cross-off, which would be nice, but there’s just no power behind it. The 25th of July morning has a tiny 1ft swell from the NE, but it’s onshore and short period. The first of August offers a similar little 1ft morning pulse from the NE again, but it’s onshore and choppy, and the energy is still negligible (3).
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast confirms a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when there’s no swell. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high wobble on the 24th or 25th of July, but don’t expect a wave worth driving for. The lack of any significant swell and poor surf quality means the setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a few of those afternoons with a breeze.
That’s the grim news. These things never last forever, though. Keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty.
