The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this forecast for the Alykes area is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s pretty much flat-out empty. There’s no good surf on offer at all, so we’re in for a long dry spell. Don’t get your hopes up for any kind of rideable waves; this is one of those stretches where you might be better off finding another hobby for a while.
The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about normal for this time of year. The conditions are mostly clean and glassy, which is a tease, because there’s just nothing to ride.
The first couple of days, August 7th and 8th, are flat out with no swell. There’s a little blip of nothing on August 10th with a weak 1ft swell from the NW, but it’s got a short period and barely any energy behind it. That’s really just a ripple.
From August 11th through the 13th, we see some tiny waves, again barely a foot, coming from the NE. The energy is super weak, and the period is short, meaning the waves are going to be mushy and unorganized. Not worth paddling out for.
The morning of August 14th shows a slight bump to 2ft, but again, it’s a weak, short-period swell from the NNE. There’s a bit more energy, but it's still all below a very low threshold. It’s not going to be any fun.
After that, it’s completely flat from August 15th all the way through the end of the period on August 22nd. That’s a solid week of absolutely nothing. The winds stay light and offshore, but with no swell, it’s just a calm, empty sea.
This stretch of nothing is more normal for this area, and with the break being pretty inconsistent anyway, it’s not a surprise. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s no reason to even bring your board. Maybe dust off the kite gear if you’re desperate, but for pure surfing, there is zero on offer. Hang tight, and hopefully, the next swell will find us.
Rusty, out.
