The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into the outlook for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch ahead for Alykes (Zakynthos). We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first week is a total write-off, with no surf to speak of from Sunday the 30th of August right through to the end of that week. The ocean is flat, dead calm. You’ll be looking at a glassy, clean sea but with zero push. It’s the kind of scene where you’d be better off on a paddleboard or just floating around.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, nearly 4°F above average. That’s notable, but it doesn’t help the wave situation.
We do finally see a tiny pulse of energy showing up on Monday the 7th of September. A small, weak swell from the ENE pushes in about 3 ft with a short period of 4 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, and the energy is pathetic, only 17 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is onshore from the NE at 16 mph, which will chop it up. It’s a poor surf condition, and honestly, not worth paddling out for. The break is inconsistent and best for beginners, but even then, the quality is so low it’s a pass.
The rest of the forecast through to the 14th of September barely improves. We get a few more days of tiny, useless waves – 2 ft, 1 ft, 1.0 ft with periods of 3-4 seconds and energy levels in the single digits. The best looking conditions window is on the afternoon of the 8th of September when it turns glassy with 1.0 ft, and on the morning of the 13th of September with glassy conditions, but there’s almost no wave to ride. The wind goes offshore on a few afternoons, but the swell is simply not there.
There is no standout on offer here. Not a single day worth highlighting. The only consistent thing is the lack of consistency. It’s a long, flat run. Sometimes this area just goes quiet, and this is one of those times. Stay patient, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
