The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me look at what we’ve got coming up for Alykes over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—it’s a pretty bleak stretch for Alykes (Zakynthos). We’re looking at a long, long run of flat, poor surf conditions that stretches from now, the 19th of July, all the way through to the morning of the 25th. There’s just nothing on offer for a solid week. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
We finally get a pulse of something on the 25th of July, Saturday morning. A north swell pushes in at 2 ft, with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s a short, weak windswell, and the combined energy is a paltry 12. The wind is cross-onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, so it’s going to be choppy and messy. Not worth getting wet for, honestly. Saturday afternoon gets a slightly bigger bump to 4 ft from the NNW, but the period is still a short 4 seconds, giving a combined energy of 67. The wind backs off to a light cross-shore from the NW at 6 mph, which cleans it up a touch, but with that short period, the waves will be weak and crumbly. This spot is inconsistent and exposed to the NE, and this little pulse is from the NNW, so it’s not hitting the break right.
After that little blip, we’re right back to flat and poor conditions from Sunday the 26th all the way through to the end of the forecast. The 29th of July, Wednesday morning, shows a tiny 0.7 ft from the NNW, and the 30th shows 1 ft from the NW, but these are just ripples—combined energy of 1 or 2. Nothing to write home about.
For a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, this is a tough run. There’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch might be the Saturday afternoon on the 25th, where you’ll find some 4 ft waves, but the quality is poor. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer on a choppy day than a paddle surfer. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty out.
