The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve got a stark one for you. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Alykes, the honest truth is there’s not a single session that gets the nod. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. The first few days offer a tiny bit of knee-high slop, but it’s windy and onshore – not worth paddling out for. From the 3rd of August right through to the 14th of August, there’s a massive gap with absolutely no surf on offer. A few tiny pulses of energy show up late in the window, but the conditions just aren’t there to make it work. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just goes to sleep for this spot.
The only flicker of life comes on the morning of the 14th of August. We’ve got a 2 ft swell from the north with a short period of 4 seconds and a combined energy of just 7 (weak). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the east, which leaves it a bit choppy. The water sits at around 77°F, which is about average for this time of year. But honestly, the quality is poor, the waves are tiny, and the period is short. It’s not a session you’d get excited about.
For a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, this blank run isn’t totally unusual. Alykes can go quiet for a while. The takeaway is simple: leave the board at home for now, keep an eye on the charts, and hope the next cycle brings something real. This is Rusty, signing off.
