The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Let me tell you straight up—there's nothing on the cards for the next 16 days at Alykes. This is a real quiet stretch. The surf forecast is a total blank: no decent swell, no rideable waves, and the combined energy of all swells directed here sits at a flat 0, which is as weak as it gets. Don't expect any size on the horizon.
The first morning of the forecast, August 3rd, has glassy conditions with a light NE wind at 3 mph, but there's no swell to speak of. That pattern just keeps repeating itself: glassy mornings, a few cross-off afternoons, and not a single wave worth paddling for. Even the mornings with calm, glassy conditions on August 6th, 13th, and 15th show only tiny ripples of 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the north or northeast, with periods of 2 to 3 seconds—that's just wind chop, not surf.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, no real anomaly there. But with zero swell energy and a sea like a lake, you're better off with a stand-up paddleboard or a kayak. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is a classic example of what happens when the weather just sits still.
It's a long gap—the whole 16-day window—with no real surf on offer. That can happen in these parts. Keep an eye on the charts, because forecasts can change, but for now, there's nothing to get excited about.
