The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me break down what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day stretch from late August into early September, it’s a pretty bleak run for surf. There just isn’t any real swell on the cards. We’re talking a flat spell that lasts from now through to the very end of the period. It’s not going to be much fun for paddling out.
Let’s start with Alykes on Zakynthos. It’s a beginner break, but it’s inconsistent and only fairly exposed. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for nothing. But that’s where the good news ends.
First thing on the 25th of August, Tuesday morning, you’ve got a tiny 0.3 ft swell coming from the NW with a period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is just 1 (weak). That’s not a wave, that’s a bathtub ripple. Winds are a light cross-off, so the surface is clean, but there’s nothing to ride. The rest of Tuesday and Wednesday are completely flat with zero swell energy.
Thursday the 27th shows some glassy conditions in the morning, which would be perfect if there was any surf, but there isn’t. Friday and Saturday stay flat, with a bit of cross-on wind, so not even worth a look. Sunday the 30th sees another tiny 0.3 ft pulse from the SE, period 4 seconds, energy 1. A slight offshore wind kicks up in the afternoon, but it’s so small it’s not surfable.
From Monday the 31st all the way through to Sunday the 6th of September, it’s flat. Just clean, glassy mornings with nothing to offer. Then on Sunday the 6th of September, the afternoon finally shows a 1 ft swell from the NW, period 5 seconds, energy 3 (still weak). There’s a moderate cross-off wind, so it’s clean, but that’s barely enough to push a foam board. After that, the last few days into the 9th of September stay flat.
What’s a standout? There isn’t one. The best on offer is that tiny 1 ft bump on September 6th, but honestly, that’s nothing for a surfer. This is a solid blank run for the area, and with such weak, short-period swell and no real groundswell energy, it’s not surprising. For kite surfing? The clean, consistent cross-off winds on the flat days might be worth looking into, but for paddle surfing, don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
