The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf outlook for Alykes.
Honestly, I’m looking at a 16-day window here and it’s a bleak one. There’s a big empty gap from the start right through to the afternoon of the 10th of August before we see any wave energy at all. Even then, it’s not what you’d call surf. We’re looking at a stretch of days with nothing rideable, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
The first sign of life comes in the afternoon of the 10th of August, but it’s a tease. A tiny 1ft swell from the northwest with a period of just 4 seconds. That’s windswell, and it’s weak with combined energy of only 3. The morning will be glassy, but the afternoon wind is a cross-offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean. Still, it’s not enough to get excited about. The water is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year.
The next few days are a similar story. Paddling out on the 11th of August? You’ll find a 1ft from the northeast, but the period is down to 2 seconds and the energy is a measly 1. Tuesday the 12th sees another 1ft, 4-second northwest swell in the afternoon, but again, it’s flat. The 13th and 14th offer up tiny 1ft and 1ft swells, but the periods are short, the energy is low, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be messy. The afternoon of the 13th and 14th are light cross-onshore, which is a bit better, but the waves are barely there.
From the 15th of August onwards, we’re back to zero. Flat spells, glassy mornings, and clean afternoons with cross-offshore winds, but no swell to push them. The 20th of August has a dead calm morning, and the 21st has a glassy start too, but it’s completely flat. The whole second week is a write-off for surf.
This break is rated for beginners and is inconsistent, and this forecast shows exactly why. It just doesn’t hold swell. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon winds in the second week are clean and cross-offshore, but there’s no wave energy to speak of. For the rest of us, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
