Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alykes - Zakynthos over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Alykes – Zakynthos.
Straight up: there’s absolutely no surf in the 16‑day window from 9 July through to 24 July. The files show a complete flat spell – combined swell energy is 0 every single session. Not a ripple. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is a good 5° above the long‑term average – much warmer than usual for this time of year, so if you’re just keen for a swim it’s lovely, but for surfing it’s a ghost town.
The break itself is an inconsistent beginner spot that only really works when swell comes from the NE, but we’ve got nothing coming from any direction. The mornings are often glassy – you’ll see plenty of calm, mirror‑flat conditions – and the afternoons pick up a light offshore or cross‑off breeze, 6–12 mph. That would make for clean conditions if there were any waves, but there aren’t. The lack of any surf at all means this isn’t a temporary lull; it’s just a classic blank run for an area that often goes quiet like this.
No standouts, no glimmers – just flat calm. Sometimes that’s just the way it goes. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
