The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Mate, I’ve had a look at the stretch ahead for Alykes on Zakynthos, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a real dry spell. We’re looking at a blank run of at least ten days with absolutely no surf to speak of. The first whispers of anything rideable don’t show up until Friday the 4th of September, and even then it’s barely a ripple.
From now through to Thursday the 3rd of September, it’s all flat. Glassy mornings, clean afternoons, but no swell energy at all – combined energy is zero across the board. The water is sitting at 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be needing a wetsuit for surfing ‘cause there’s nothing to surf. Perfect conditions for a swim or a SUP paddle, but not a wave in sight.
Then, on Friday the 4th of September in the morning, we finally see something – a tiny 1 ft swell from the NE with a pathetic period of just 3 seconds. Combined energy is only 3 – that’s weak as dishwater. Wind is onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, which isn’t doing it any favours. This is a beginner-level wave at best, and honestly, it’s barely rideable. Alykes is an inconsistent spot anyway, and this little blip won’t change that. It’s not worth paddling out for.
After that, it’s back to nothing for the rest of the outlook, right through to Thursday the 10th of September. More glassy mornings, clean afternoons, but zero swell. The wind flips around, but without any wave energy, it’s just a flat, pretty sea.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout here. No hidden gem. If you’re hanging for a wave, this isn’t the window. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long, quiet stretch. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
