The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get straight into it. It is Alykes - Zakynthos and, well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is absolutely nothing doing in the surf department for the next two weeks. That is a brutal, flat, empty run with zero swell on the cards for pretty much the whole outlook.

The first little blip of any measurable wave energy doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday 12th August, and even then we are talking a tiny 1.0 ft swell from the NE, with a short period of just 2 seconds and combined wave energy sitting at a measly 1. The wind is onshore at 12 mph, so it’s going to be messy and weak. That is not a surfable wave, it’s barely a ripple. The afternoon shifts to a NW swell with a 5-second period and still only 1.0 ft, but at least the wind goes cross-off. Still, it’s poor. The next day, Tuesday the 13th, is more of the same — 1.0 ft, NE, 2-second period, and onshore winds. It’s just not happening.

We get a brief moment late in the outlook. On the morning of Thursday 22nd August, there is a slightly more interesting wave: 3 ft from the NW with a 6-second period. That’s the best we see, and the combined energy climbs to 61 (moderate but weak), with light onshore breezes. The break here is inconsistent and the optimum swell direction is from the NE, so this NW swell isn’t really ideal. The whole setup is more suited to a beginner on a foamie if they are desperate, but honestly, it is a flat spell.

There’s a long, painful gap from now until that small bump on the 22nd. If you are a local surfer here, you know a blank run like this is normal for the area in August. The water is calm, the offshore winds appear occasionally, but there is simply no ocean energy. It’s just not our time right now.

Keep the board in the car anyway – forecasts change.
