The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I'm not going to sugar-coat it for you. We are looking at a proper flat spell for the next couple of weeks. The ocean is going to be like a lake for the majority of this forecast period. For Alykes, from now until the 26th of August, there’s just nothing. It's all clean, glassy conditions, but with zero swell to ride. It's the kind of frustrating stretch that makes you want to take up golf.
This is a real dead period for the area. We're looking at no good surf options at all in the 16-day window. The swell energy is at zero, which is as dead as it gets. It's not a time to be checking the surf report. It's a time to be doing anything else. A run this empty is just part of the deal sometimes around here.
The only flicker of life is around the 27th, when a tiny 0.2m ripple shows up. But that's not surf; that's a shiver on the surface. The energy is at 1, which is nothing. Then on the 28th, there’s a bit more push with a 0.8m NW windswell, but the period is only 5 seconds. It’s going to be messy, and the afternoon wind on the 28th is going to be howling at 35 km/h, so even that small window is going to be blown out. The energy might hit 29, but that's still very weak.
So for a spot like Alykes (Zakynthos), a beginner-friendly beach, there's nothing for you here. The water is a bit warmer than usual at 28°, which would be great for a swim, but there isn't a wave to be found. There are no standout days. The first week is completely empty, and the little blip of swell in the second week is too weak and short-period to bother with. It's just not worth getting your wetsuit wet. Sometimes the ocean just says no. You gotta respect it.
