Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cookin' at Alykes.
To be straight with you, this 16-day window is a bit of a heartbreaker. There's nothing but a flat spell staring us in the face. The good news is, the water's sitting at a balmy 81°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice little treat if you're just keen for a swim, but there's no wave energy to ride.
We're looking at a long, dry run here. From now all the way through to the morning of July 11th, there's no surf to speak of. The combined swell energy is flatlined at 0, so don't even bother with the board for the first week.
Finally, on July 11th, we see a tiny flicker. Saturday morning, a weak 0.7ft swell from the NNW with a period of just 3 seconds rolls in. That's essentially ripple energy (1). The wind is a light cross-onshore, so even for a little knee-high slop, it won't be clean. After that, it's straight back to nothing for another eight days. From the afternoon of the 11th all the way through to the morning of July 20th – another week plus – the energy is back to zero.
The wind does glass off occasionally – like the morning of the 7th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 19th, and 20th of July – but you can be glassy and have no waves. It doesn't help a bit.
Honestly, there's no standout here. Not a single option worth paddling out for. The whole period is a write-off for surfing. Might be a good time to sort out your gear or check the forecast for the next window. For an area like this, it's pretty normal to get these flat spells, but it never stays like this forever.
Rusty.
