The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this forecast is a tough one for Alykes (Zakynthos). The next 16 days are basically a write-off for decent surf. There’s a big dry spell right from the start, with nothing worth paddling out for until we get to the 11th of September. Even then, it’s a real struggle.
Water temp’s sitting at 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—like swimming in a bath, but the waves just aren’t cooperating.
The first hint of any swell shows up on the morning of Friday the 11th of September. We’re looking at a tiny 1 ft swell from the northwest, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 4 (weak energy). Wind is onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, which is messy. That afternoon, it’s still 1 ft from the NW, period 5 seconds, energy 8, with a cross-onshore wind. Not worth your time.
Saturday the 12th of September morning is the closest thing to a highlight. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the NW, period 4 seconds, energy 22 (still weak). The wind goes glassy—calm and clean. That’s the best you’ll see, but it’s tiny and inconsistent. Afternoon drops back to 2 ft with a cross-offshore breeze.
After that, the 14th of September offers a pathetic 0.7 ft swell from the ENE with a period of 2 seconds and energy of 1 in the morning, and 0.7 ft from the NNE with a period of 3 seconds in the afternoon. Absolute flatness.
Then from the 15th of September right through to the 18th, it’s all zeros—no swell at all. A massive gap of four days with nothing. The wind is glassy on the 17th of September afternoon, but with no waves, who cares?
Bottom line: there’s no standout session here. The best you can hope for is a quick, glassy paddle on the 12th morning on that 3 ft dribble, but it’s not going to light anyone’s fire. This spot is inconsistent, and this run proves it. Keep your gear waxed and hope the forecasts change. Rusty.
