The Lowdown
Alright, crew, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks is about as exciting as watching paint dry on a windless day. We’re looking at Alykes, and honestly, the ocean’s got nothing on offer for a proper surf. There’s going to be a long, flat gap at the start here, so don’t bother rushing down to the beach with your board.
The water is running real warm, about 84°F, which is more than 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a proper anomaly, feels more like a bath than the Ionian.
The first few days are a write-off. From the 12th through to the 19th, there’s no real swell showing up at all. The energy readings are all zero, with a few weak blips that never even register. We’ll see some clean, glassy mornings with light winds, but with nothing to push in, it’s just flat calm. A few afternoons might have a light offshore breeze, keeping things looking pretty, but it’s a tease.
Finally, on the 20th, a tiny pulse of swell shows up – we’re talking a mere 2ft on Sunday morning, with weak energy of just 5. The period is a short 3 seconds, so it’s not going to have any push. The wind is glassy though, so if you’re desperate for a splash, it might be clean but it’s going to be tiny and gutless. This little blip continues through Monday and Tuesday, with the swell staying under 2ft and the period still under 4 seconds – the combined energy is weak, stuck in the single digits. It’s the definition of marginal. There’s nothing here that’s even close to a standout.
The good news is that the winds are mostly light or offshore, so if there was any swell, it would be clean. But there isn't. A couple of days, like Friday the 18th, get a bit of a blow with a near gale and rain, but that’s just messy with no waves to surf.
So, what’s the verdict? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The spot is inconsistent, and this looks like a normal blank run for the area. Don’t get too down about it though; conditions can change, and it tends not to stay this flat for long. But for now, leave the board in the shed. This is a tough one.
Check back in a week or so – we might get something more interesting.
Stay salty,
Rusty
