The Lowdown
Right, I’ve been staring at the charts for Alykes (Zakynthos) and honestly, it’s a tough one. The whole 16‑day window is a dead zone for decent surf. There’s a tiny blip on Saturday morning, 1st August, with a northeast swell pushing just 2 ft at a very short period of 3 seconds—that’s essentially wind chop with no power. The combined swell energy is a measly 6, so there’s nothing to work with. After that, it’s a solid run of nothing.
The water is sitting at 27°, which is about normal for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s average. The finder flags “poor surf conditions” for every single session, and there’s no wave comment to get excited about. The break itself is rated as rare and inconsistent, so this blank stretch of 15 days without a single recommendation is more normal for the area than a surprise. The wind does turn offshore from the southwest on Sunday afternoon, 2nd August, and we get glassy conditions on a few mornings—like Monday 3rd, Wednesday 5th, and Thursday 6th—but with no swell, clean water is just a flat lake. It’s a frustrating outlook.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best you’ll get is that Saturday morning bump, but honestly, it’s hard to recommend. Keep an eye on the forecasts—things can change quickly in August, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
