The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the local scene for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. The whole 16-day window is looking flat, with almost no surf to get excited about. We’ve got a massive gap with no real swell on offer. The first and only spot with any kind of energy is Alykes (Zakynthos), but even that’s a struggle.
For the first few days, from Saturday the 25th of July right through, it’s mostly a bust. There’s a tiny bit of action on Saturday morning, with a weak 1ft swell from the NNE, but with a period of only 3 seconds, it’s just wind chop. The energy is basically nothing (5), and it’s cross-on, so forget clean waves. The water is a warm 82°F, which is much warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, shows up on Saturday the 1st of August. We get a slight bump to 2ft from the NNE, with a 4-second period and a combined energy of 11. Still tiny, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The wind is onshore from the NE at 19 mph, which will chop it up. This is a beginner spot and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect much. It’s also fairly exposed, so that onshore wind will ruin it.
After that, we’re back to nothing. From Sunday the 2nd of August onward, it’s a desert. Lots of glassy mornings and clean afternoons, but with zero swell. There’s just no height or period to speak of.
Bottom line: This is a proper blank run. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple at Alykes on the 1st of August, but it’s not worth the drive. For the rest of the period, leave the board at home. The setup is more interesting for a kite than a surfboard right now. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
