The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Alykes over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you— this stretch looks flat as a pancake for a long, long time. There’s barely a ripple on the cards for the first ten days or so. From now through to the end of July and into the first week of August, it’s pretty much all zeros on the wave front. You’re looking at a big drought here, with nothing rideable until the very tail end of the period. That’s a solid gap of about two weeks with no real surf to speak of.
The only faint glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Thursday, 30 July. A tiny little bump from the NW pushes in at 0.3m (about 1 ft), with a period of only 2 seconds—that’s basically a lake ripple, not a wave you’d paddle for. The combined energy is a pathetic 1 (weak), so don’t even bother. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so the surface is clean, but there’s just nothing underneath to ride.
Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August offer slightly more—a 0.6m (2 ft) NE swell on Friday morning and again Saturday morning, with periods of 3 to 4 seconds. Still poor surf conditions across the board. The energy readings climb to 7 and 10 (weak), but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy and blown out. Not worth suiting up for.
After that, the guidance file points to Alykes as a beginner break that’s inconsistent and only fairly exposed to swell, with an optimum direction from the NE. The water here is sitting at 27°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But without any decent swell, none of that matters much.
Bottom line: there is nothing worth paddling out for in the entire 16-day window. If you’re desperate for any kind of movement on the water, you might want to check if kite gear is your thing—because for surfing, this is a complete blank. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, this run of flatness is pretty normal for Alykes at this time of year.
Rusty.
