The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s happening here. Honestly, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a real struggle for Alykes (Zakynthos). The water is sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s mildly interesting.
The whole stretch from Sunday the 23rd of August right through to Monday the 7th of September is a massive blank. There’s simply no surf on offer. The combined swell energy is a flat zero (0) for almost every single session, and the few times we see a tiny blip of 0.3 ft or 1 ft, the period is a pathetic 4 to 5 seconds – just wind slop, not real waves. The sea is flat, dead, and lifeless.
For a spot like Alykes, which is a beginner, inconsistent break that’s fairly exposed, a blank run this long is unfortunately pretty normal. It’s a place that needs a good push of NW swell, and we’re just not getting it. The wind does go glassy and offshore plenty of mornings, especially around the 26th of August and the 1st of September, but without any swell to work with, it’s just a mirror. You’d be better off with a stand-up paddleboard or a kite, because the paddle surfing is a total write-off.
So, I’ve got to be straight with you: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a bummer, but forecasts can change – it tends not to stay this poor for long here. Keep watching the charts.
