The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get honest about what’s on the table for the next sixteen days at Alykes.
First thing you need to know: we are looking at a dry spell. A long one. The forecast shows nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of Sunday, September 13th, and even then, it’s weak. That’s nearly a full week of flat, poor surf conditions. From the 9th through the 12th, the data is all zeros—no swell, no energy, just a whole lot of nothing. It’s a tough start.
On Sunday the 13th, a little pulse finally shows up. The morning brings a tiny 3 ft swell from the NW, with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s short-period wind chop, not a proper groundswell. The combined energy is a measly 24, so don’t expect any punch. The wind is a cross-shore from the NW at 16 mph, so it’s going to be a bumpy, choppy mess. This is not a standout. The afternoon cleans up some with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is already gone in the data. It’s barely a ripple.
After that, it’s back to the waiting game. The guidance tells me Alykes is a beginner spot, inconsistent, and only breaks sometimes. That fits what we’re seeing. The next flicker of hope doesn’t appear until the morning of Tuesday, September 22nd. That morning, we get a tiny 0.7 ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 3 seconds, and a combined energy of 1. The wind is glassy, calm from the SW at 3 mph. It’s clean, but it’s barely surfable. The afternoon session has a gentle offshore breeze from the WSW, but again, no swell to speak of.
The truth is, there is no true standout in this 16-day window. The best on offer is that glassy, tiny bump on the 22nd, but for a beginner spot, it’s still a serious challenge. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no worries there. Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Alykes, but with this lack of swell, you’ll likely have the place to yourself.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, keep an eye on the 22nd morning. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. The setup is flat and clean, which is more interesting for a kite or a foil than a surfboard. Hang tight, and remember, it tends not to stay poor for long.
Rusty.
