Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Alykes over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this stretch is looking flat as a pancake right the way through. We’ve got a solid 16 days on the cards, but there’s not a single proper wave in sight. It’s a long, quiet gap with no real surf on offer, so don’t be expectin’ to paddle out for a decent session any time soon.
For Alykes (Zakynthos), the story’s all about flat calm conditions. The water temp is sittin’ about average for this time of year, nothin’ unusual there. Through Friday 3rd July we’ve got glassy mornings and clean afternoons, but with zero swell energy (0) there’s just nothin’ to ride. Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th follow the same pattern – a tiny 0.7ft ripple pops up Sunday afternoon with a period of just 2 seconds and weak energy (1), but that’s barely a ripple, let alone a wave. It’s poor surf conditions all round.
The week after is more of the same. Monday 6th through to Saturday 18th July – all clear skies, light breezes and glassy patches, but the combined swell energy stays at zero day after day. There’s simply no swell reachin’ this shore. For the beginners or anyone just wantin’ a float around on a flat board, the conditions are pretty, but for actual surfing? Nothin’ doin’.
Given the lack of any decent swell, the setup here is more of a paddlin’ or swimmin’ spot right now. Hang tight, forecasts can always turn around, but for now it’s a blank run that’s pretty typical for the area when the swell windows close up. Keep an eye on the charts, boys.
Rusty.

Information about the Alykes - Zakynthos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Alykes - Zakynthos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alykes - Zakynthos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alykes - Zakynthos surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Alykes - Zakynthos) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Alykes - Zakynthos may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
