G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: right now, Alykes (Zakynthos) is as flat as a pancake. There’s simply no surf on offer. The entire 16-day run looks dead in the water, with zero swell energy registering at the break. The combined energy of all swells directed here sits at 0 (weak) across every single forecast window. There’s nothing to paddle into—no height, no period, just clean, glassy water with no wave to push you.
The first faint hint of something appears right at the tail end. On the morning of Thursday, July 16, a tiny 1ft NE swell creeps in with a period of just 2 seconds. That’s essentially a ripple. It’s not surf. The wind is light cross-offshore, so the water sits clean, but there’s no energy behind it. The combined energy reading is 2 (weak). The rest of the outlook is a blank—no recommendations, no breaking waves. The water temperature is 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won’t help the surf.
It’s a tough run. For an area like this, a long stretch of no surf isn’t unusual. The break is inconsistent by nature, and we’re seeing it in full effect here. There’s no standout, no best on offer—just flat, clear days with glassy mornings and offshore afternoons. If you’re deadset on getting wet, you’ll be swimming or sunbaking, not surfing.
Rusty.
