The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the local surf scene for the next 16 days.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell and it's gonna be a long one. We're looking at a big, fat gap with no real surf on offer. The first few days don't have a pulse, and we're gonna be waiting a while. From the 23rd of July right through to the 31st, it's mostly a write-off with tiny, weak, and messy conditions. The wave energy is basically zero (0) during that whole stretch. You'll see some tiny 0.7ft to 2ft stuff, but it's from a short-period wind swell that's just not gonna do anything for us. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, which just chops it up.
We finally see a tiny blip on the 1st of August. Saturday morning shows a 1.0ft swell from the NE with a period of only 3 seconds, but it's onshore wind. The wave energy is a measly 1 (one). That's not a surfable wave, it's just a ripple. The same goes for Sunday the 2nd of August with another 1.0ft, 2-second blip. After that, it's back to nothing but glassy or cross-offshore conditions with zero energy right through to the 7th of August.
Honestly, there's nothing here to get excited about for a paddle. With the tiny, weak swell and the fact that Alykes (Zakynthos) is a fairly exposed beach setup, this is more of a kite-surfing kind of week if you're desperate. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The long and short of it is: don't bother. The whole 16-day window is a dud for surf. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the van.
