Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alykes - Zakynthos over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Alykes on Zakynthos over the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a real dry spell for surf.
The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. From Thursday the 9th of July all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 24th of July, there's just no swell on the cards. That’s over two weeks of nothing but clean, glassy conditions, but with zero wave energy. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a big fat zero (0) for most of that period. The water is notably warm, sitting at 81°F with an anomaly of 5°F, so it’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that doesn't help when there's nothing to ride.
The only faint glimmer comes right at the very end of the forecast. On the morning of Friday the 24th of July, we finally see a tiny pulse of swell. We’re talking a tiny 1.0ft swell from the SE, with a period of just 2 seconds. That’s practically a ripple. The combined energy is a measly 1, so it’s weak. The wind is light and clean from the WNW, which would be nice if there was any power in the water, but a 2-second period means it’s just wind chop, not a proper wave.
For a beginner spot that's inconsistent at the best of times, this is a total write-off. There’s nothing here for a paddle surfer. The setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer or someone who just wants to enjoy the calm, warm water with a glassy surface. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when there’s no swell in the forecast. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep your board in the car.
Rusty.
