The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cooking in the water over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch. For the first ten days, from now through the 30th of August, there’s absolutely nothing doing. The combined swell energy is zero (0), with flat conditions and no rideable waves at all. It’s going to be a long, quiet spell with no surf on offer.
We finally see a tiny whisper of movement on Monday the 31st of August. Alykes - Zakynthos might see a tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNW with a period of just 3 seconds. The combined energy is a bare minimum (1). That’s not enough to paddle for, just a ripple. It’s an inconsistent spot for beginners at the best of times, and this isn't it. The wind is light and onshore in the morning, so the texture is poor. Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd offer the same story - 0.7ft of weak, short-period slop with light onshore breezes. After that, it looks like we go totally flat again all the way through to the 5th of September.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. The water temp is sitting at a nice 82°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only warmth you’ll find. With no swell to speak of and a mostly poor wind setup for the tiny bumps that do appear, this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the charts go quiet. Keep the board in the bag and hope the forecasts shift.
Rusty.
