The Lowdown
Right, I've had a proper look at the charts for Alykes, and I gotta be straight with you—there's nothing doing. The forecast is a total write-off for the whole 16-day window. We're looking at a blank run from now all the way through to the end of July.
The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be feeling it on a surfboard 'cause there's no surf to be had.
The only tiny flicker of life comes on the 22nd of July, with a bit of a bump from the northwest. Swell height hits 4ft to 5ft, but the period is a measly 6 seconds—that's weak windswell, not proper groundswell. The combined energy reads 114 to 146, which is barely moderate, and the wind is a fresh cross-shore, so the surface will be a lumpy, choppy mess. Those are poor conditions, plain and simple, not worth the paddle.
After that, it's right back to zilch. A couple of mornings look glassy on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, and there's even an offshore breeze on the 19th afternoon, but with zero swell, it's just a flat, pretty lake. There's nothing for a surfer to work with here.
Honestly, this stretch of flatness is pretty normal for Alykes at this time of year, so don't let it get you down. Keep an eye on it—forecasts can change, and it won't stay this way forever.
