The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the next couple weeks.
There are no good surf options in the 16-day window for Alykes (Zakynthos). The whole forecast is a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing until Friday the 25th of September, and even then, the numbers never climb out of the “poor” camp. The swell windows are tiny, the periods are short, and the energy just isn’t there. This is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area when the swell direction isn’t lining up right. The optimum direction here is NE, but most of the tiny pulses we do see come from NW or NE with barely any strength.
For the first week, from Monday the 14th through Thursday the 24th, it’s all flat or joke-sized waves. You’ll see a few 1ft bumps on Monday morning (14th) and again on Thursday afternoon (24th), but with period around 4 seconds and combined energy of just 8 (on the 14th) and 5 (on the 24th), it’s not even worth paddling out for. Winds do go glassy on a few mornings, like Thursday the 17th, Friday the 18th, and Saturday the 19th, but there’s zero swell to make use of it.
The only time things even flicker to life is around Friday the 25th. Friday morning brings the biggest swell of the whole run: 3ft from the NW with a 6-second period and combined energy of 43. That’s weak energy, and the wind is a gentle cross-shore making it messy. Saturday the 26th morning shows 3ft from NE with 5 seconds and 35 energy, but it’s cross-onshore. By Saturday afternoon and into Sunday morning, the wind goes glassy and the swell drops back to 2ft – that’s about the best you’ll get, but still poor.
Everything else after that tails off into flatness again. No standouts here – nothing comes close to being worth a mention as a good option. If you’re in this area, you’re looking at a long gap of two full weeks with no real surf. The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°F – that’s much warmer than normal for the time of year, which is a rare treat if you just want a swim, but not helping the waves.
Stay patient, folks. Sometimes it’s like this.
