Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alykes - Zakynthos over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get real. Honestly, it’s looking pretty grim out there for the next couple of weeks. For Alykes - Zakynthos, there’s just nothing happening for the longest stretch. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 80°, but that’s about the only good news.
From now until the 26th of July, we’re looking at a total flat spell. Day after day of poor surf conditions, with zilch for swell and energy readings sitting at zero (0). You’ll get some glassy mornings and clean afternoons, but without any waves, it’s just a nice day for a swim. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area.
Finally, on the 26th of July, Sunday afternoon, we see a tiny pulse of life – a 1.0ft swell from the NW with a short period of 4 seconds, and combined energy of just 2. It’s weak, and the wind is coming cross-shore at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Still, it’s something. That’s the only real standout in the whole window, but it’s tiny and weak, really only for the most desperate beginner.
The 27th and 28th of July bring a little more, with swell heights up to 2ft, but the period stays short (3 seconds) and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, messy conditions. The energy is still very weak (2 to 5). Honestly, for paddle surfing, it’s barely worth a look. If you’re into kite surfing, the beach setup and the light wind days might be more interesting.
So, for the whole 16-day outlook, there’s no real good surf on offer. The 26th of July afternoon is the best you’ll get, and that’s saying something.

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.
