The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Alykes over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell. There’s just no energy at all. From the 20th of July right through to the 4th of August, we’re looking at a proper blank run. The swell is basically non-existent, with the odd tiny pulse of around 1 ft that’s not gonna do anything for anyone. The energy readings are pathetic, often zero or single digits, and when there is a blip, it’s a weak 1 to 4 (1 to 4).
The winds are frequently clean, or even glassy, which is a tease. But you can’t ride a clean surface if there’s nothing pushing it. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. But it’s a waiting game. For a spot like Alykes that’s inconsistent anyway, this kind of run isn’t totally out of the blue.
If you’re desperate, the second of August on Sunday afternoon offers a whisper of hope. We’ve got a 1 ft swell from the NE with a gentle offshore wind from the SW. That’s a clean, gentle offshore setup, but it’s tiny. That’s about as good as it gets, and it’s not good. The rest of the time, the setup is better for floating on your back than paddling into a wave.
Don’t lose all hope – forecasts can change, and it never stays this flat forever. But for now, leave the boards in the shed.
