The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here with the real talk. The next couple of weeks are looking as flat as a pancake for Alykes. We're in for a long dry spell, so if you're chasing waves, you might be better off finding a nice beach bar.
Water temp is around 81°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year. It's a bit on the warm side, but that’s the only thing that’s going to be firing.
From the 9th through the 21st, it's a total dead zone. No swell, no energy – the combined swell energy is a big fat zero to 4. There's a few tiny, pathetic windswells on the 13th and 14th, but we're talking ankle-biters at 1 to 1 feet with periods of 2 to 4 seconds. That's just chop, not surf. The wind is mostly onshore or cross, so it'll be messy and uninviting. Don't even bother.
There's a tiny glimmer of hope on the 22nd. Saturday afternoon shows a little bump of 1 feet from the northwest with a period of 6 seconds. The energy gets up to a still-weak 11, but it's something. The wind is light and clean, so if you're really jonesing, you might find a soft, crumbly wave. But don't expect much.
That's the only pulse in the whole 16-day window. After that, it's back to flatness and glassy conditions. The 23rd has some strong cross-offshore wind at 19 mph, but with no swell, it's just a windy, empty ocean.
So here it is: there are no good surf options in this forecast. The whole period is a bust. This kind of blank run isn't uncommon around here, so don't lose hope. Things change, and it won't stay this poor forever. Keep the board ready, but maybe plan for something else.
Rusty out.

Information about the Alykes - Zakynthos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Alykes - Zakynthos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alykes - Zakynthos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alykes - Zakynthos surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Alykes - Zakynthos) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Alykes - Zakynthos may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
