Right, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let's have a look at this 16-day window.
To be straight with you, folks, this is a rare one. For the next 16 days, there's absolutely nothing doing at Alykes (Zakynthos). The swell energy is flat as a pancake the whole way through – a big fat zero. There's no surf to speak of, so don't bother waxing up.
The water's sitting at a warm 80°F and it's much warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice if you're just going for a dip, but not much else. We've got plenty of glassy mornings and clean afternoons with light winds, perfect conditions... for a swim or a paddleboard. The sea is flat calm more often than not, and even when the wind picks up a little, there's zero swell to push it.
This kind of blank run is a normal thing for the area when the swell just doesn't line up. It tends to be all or nothing. Don't chuck the boards in the attic just yet – forecasts can change, and we've been caught out before. But for this 16-day stretch, the honest truth is that the paddle-out is pointless.
Rusty.

Information about the Alykes - Zakynthos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Alykes - Zakynthos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Alykes - Zakynthos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Alykes - Zakynthos surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Alykes - Zakynthos) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
