The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's a tough one to call. We're looking at a pretty dead run of surf out at Alykes. The ocean's flat, and it's going to stay that way for a while. The first few days are a complete write-off, and this poor surf pattern is sticking around. We're going to be waiting until at least August 11th to see the tiniest hint of a wave, and even that's a weak 1ft of short-period, windswell junk with hardly any energy. I mean, we're talking about a combined energy reading of just 2, which is almost nothing. It's not going to be worth paddling out for.
The mornings are glassy and calm, and the afternoons are clean with cross-offshore breezes, but it's all for nothing without any swell. The water is warm, which is nice, but there's no surf to enjoy it with. We might see a few offshore wind days around the 14th and 15th, but still, no waves. For a beginner break, this is just a period of flatness. If you're into kitesurfing, this setup might look more appealing, but for surfing, you can leave the board at home. There are no standout days in this whole 16-day window, so don't hold your breath. It's one of those quiet spells, but in a place like this, it usually doesn't stay flat for too long. Fingers crossed the forecasts change for the better.
