The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be honest with you, the outlook for the next two weeks at Alykes is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing to get excited about.
We start off with a real dry spell. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to the 12th of August, it’s flat. Zero energy. The combined swell energy is a whopping 0 for the first couple of weeks. You’ll be staring at a mirror. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 2nd of August with glassy conditions in the afternoon, but with a tiny 1 ft NE windswell and a period of just 3 seconds, it’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
The only real chance we see comes on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning brings a bit of life with a 4 ft swell from the NW, period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally kicks up to 108 (moderate wave energy). The wind is dead calm, glassy conditions, which is a major positive for clean surf. The catch? It’s a beginner break, inconsistent, and the swell direction is NW, not the optimum NE that Alykes likes. The water temp is about 77°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Honestly, for two weeks of waiting, that's a pretty average payoff. The setup is so weak for so long, this is just one of those blank runs for the area. If you’re absolutely desperate to get wet, the morning of the 13th is your only window, but keep the expectations low.
Rusty.
