The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a paddle.
For the next week and a half, from Saturday the 29th of August right through to Sunday the 13th of September, we’ve got a whole lot of nothing. The swell energy is sitting at a flat zero for the vast majority of that time, with no rideable waves on offer. The water is sitting at 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting. You’ll get some clean, glassy mornings here and there, especially on the 3rd, 5th, and 10th of September, but without any swell, that's just flat calm.
The only real sign of life shows up on the morning of Monday the 7th of September at Alykes - Zakynthos. We’re looking at a tiny 0.7 ft of swell coming from the ENE with a period of only 3 seconds. That’s about as weak as it gets – the combined energy is a measly 1. It’s glassy and clean that morning, but the wave quality is rated as poor. Honestly, this is barely enough to get a longboard floating, and even then, it’s inconsistent. The wind is light offshore from the SW, so if you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high ripple. But don’t get your hopes up.
This is a dry spell for the region. With the break being inconsistent at the best of times, a blank run like this isn't unusual. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
