The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The outlook for Alykes - Zakynthos over the next 16 days is a flat spell. There’s no surf on offer right now, and the forecast shows nothing but a run of poor surf conditions all the way through. We’re looking at a gap that stretches from now until the 8th of August without a single recommendation.
The first few days, Friday 24th July through Sunday 26th, are dead calm. We’re talking glassy mornings with zero swell energy (0) and afternoons with a bit of cross-off breeze but still no waves. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Monday 27th July through to the end of the month, we get a few tiny pulses – the biggest being a 2ft NNE swell on Saturday morning the 25th, but it’s a short-period 4-second windswell, and the wind is onshore. The combined energy barely reaches 8, which is weak as dishwater. The shape just isn’t there.
Into August, it’s more of the same. A 3ft NNE swell on Sunday the 2nd with a 4-second period gives us a combined energy of 16, but the onshore wind is relentless. This spot is a beginner beach break that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. It’s not a place that pumps often, and right now, it’s not pumping at all.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe a log on a glassy morning, but honestly, you’re better off waiting. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.
