The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be honest right off the bat – we're looking at a total flat spell for Alykes (Zakynthos). The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent paddle surfing. There's nothing to get excited about here.
The first whisper of any swell doesn't show up until Thursday the 30th of July, and even then it's just a tiny 0.3m from the NE with a period of 2 seconds – basically nothing. Combined wave energy is only 1, which is weaker than weak. The wind that morning is onshore, making things even worse. The water temp is sitting at 80°, about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so nothing too crazy there.
We get a few more little bumps over the next few days, with the biggest being 0.8m from the NE on Saturday the 1st of August, but the period is still only 4 seconds and the wind is howling onshore at 16 mph. That's just messy.
After that tiny pulse, the whole system just shuts down again. From the 3rd of August right through to the 12th of August, there are huge gaps with no surf at all – days of nothing but flat, clean water. The occasional glassy morning pops up, like on the 4th and 5th of August, which would be stunning for a swim, but there's not a ripple of swell to ride.
When you look at the whole picture, this is a classic summer flat spell for the area. It's a beginner spot that's inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it's not even offering that. The wind conditions are often cross-off or glassy, which would normally be perfect, but without any swell, it's just a beautiful, flat lake. If you're into kite surfing, the stronger afternoon cross-off winds and the occasional onshore breeze might offer something, but for a surfer? There's nothing doing.
Hang in there, the forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
