The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the surf outlook for Alykes (Zakynthos) over the next 16 days is pretty grim. There’s hardly any swell coming through for the whole run, so don’t plan a trip around scoring waves here right now.
We start off on Saturday 15th August with tiny, weak conditions. Morning shows a pathetic 1ft of swell from the NE, with a super short period of 3 seconds – that’s virtually no energy, just 3 on the combined scale. The water is sitting at 82°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won't help the waves. The wind is onshore from the NE at 12 mph, so it’s messy. By afternoon the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the SSE, but the swell is even smaller at 1ft – barely a ripple.
From Sunday 16th August all the way through to Saturday 30th August, the finder shows zero swell for the vast majority of the period. There are a few fleeting moments of tiny, insignificant waves: Thursday 20th August afternoon sees a 1ft NW swell at 5 seconds (energy of 3), and Friday 28th August morning has a 0.3ft NW swell at 4 seconds (energy of 1). Nothing worth paddling out for. Most days are glassy or have light cross-offshore winds, which would be great if there was any surf, but there just isn’t.
For the whole stretch, the best you can hope for is a flat, clean ocean – nicer for a swim or a tan than surfing. There are no standout days. If you’re a beginner, even the tiny waves are too small to learn on. This is a blank run of surf; it’s just not happening at Alykes right now. The forecasts could always change, but as it stands, keep your board in the car.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Alykes - Zakynthos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
