Table - best surf conditions forecast for Alykes - Zakynthos over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Straight up, I’m looking at Alykes on Zakynthos, and if you’re hoping for a surf, I’ve got to be honest with you—this 16-day window is a total blank. There is absolutely no swell on the cards. The combined energy of any swell directed here is sitting at zero (0). That’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
The water temp is a notable 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, by about 4°, so if you’re just having a swim, it’s lovely. But for surf? Nothing doing.
From Sunday the 12th of July right through to Monday the 27th of July, every single morning and afternoon shows “poor surf conditions.” The wind does get glassy or light offshore at times—like Sunday morning the 12th with a 3 mph northerly glass-off, or Tuesday afternoon the 14th with a 12 mph offshore from the west-southwest, which is clean—but there’s simply no wave height to work with. It’s all dashes for swell height, period, and direction. Flat as a pancake.
Alykes is a beginner spot, inconsistent, and this kind of run is more normal for the area when there’s no swell in the Med. It’s not a disaster, just a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Leave the boards at home and grab a cold drink instead.

Information about the Alykes - Zakynthos Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Alykes - Zakynthos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alykes - Zakynthos surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Alykes - Zakynthos) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Alykes - Zakynthos may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
