The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the surf outlook for Alykes – Zakynthos. I’ll be honest, straight off the bat, the 16-day window is a tough one to call. For the entire period, there is no surf worth paddling out for. The first record is for the 11th of September and that shows zero swell energy (0), and that’s the story right through. From the 11th right up until the 26th of September, we are looking at a dead run with wave heights barely registering. There is a tiny blip on Sunday the 13th with a 3ft swell from the NW, but the period is only 4 seconds – that’s wind swell, weak and shifty, and the combined energy is just 21 (very weak). It’s clean in the afternoon with a cross-offshore breeze, but honestly, it’s not going to offer anything worth getting wet for. After that, it’s back to flatness and poor surf conditions for the remainder of the outlook.
With no swell pushing in, the conditions at Alykes are really just a reflection of the wind. There are some glassy moments on the 16th, 20th, and 22nd of September, but without any wave energy, flat calm doesn’t mean a thing for surfing. The water temperature on the morning of the 11th is 84°F, which is 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, but you’d need a wave to enjoy it. For the whole forecast, there is simply nothing to recommend. If you are a kitesurfer, maybe keep an eye on the Sunday afternoon with that cross-off breeze, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a blank run. It’s one of those periods where the area just goes quiet, and there’s not much you can do but wait for a change in the charts.
