The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the surf ahead. We’re looking at a pretty flat stretch for the next couple of weeks, and it’s going to be a test of patience more than anything else.
The long and short of it is, there is no proper surf on offer for the entire 16-day window. Not a single day where you'd want to paddle out. The swell energy is essentially non-existent, with readings of 0 to 3 in the combined energy department, which is about as weak as it gets. We’re talking about a whole lot of nothing.
The first week is a total blank. From the 9th through to the 12th, there’s no swell at all. The wind is mostly light, with some cleaner afternoon breezes, but with zero waves, it doesn’t mean a thing. There are a few little bumps of 0.7ft to 1ft showing up around the 13th and 14th, but they’re weak, short-period (2-3 seconds) wind slop. Not worth getting wet for.
The 15th and 16th keep the same story: tiny, weak, and poor. We see a glassy afternoon on the 15th, but it’s on a 1ft ripple. You’d be better off having a swim. The following week, from the 17th to the 21st, is again completely flat. The mornings are glassy, but the ocean is a lake. Then, on the 22nd, there’s a tiny pulse. The morning shows a 1ft NW windswell, and the afternoon bumps up to 2ft with a period of 4 seconds. The energy reading is still a weak 10. This is the most "surf" we see, but it’s still poor surf conditions. It’s a small, weak, and messy option that would only be for the most desperate.
The 23rd and 24th are flat again, with a glassy morning on the 23rd and a clean offshore breeze on the 24th, but again, no waves to ride.
So, there you have it. A completely blank run for Alykes. This stretch of nothing is more normal for the area in this season, but it won't stay this way forever. Forecasts can change, and when the swell does decide to show up, we'll be ready. But right now, leave the board in the car and enjoy the sunshine.
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.
