The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the surf forecast for Alykes is a total dud. We're looking at a full 16 days with absolutely nothing rideable. The ocean is flat out flat.
From Saturday the 22nd right through the end of the month, the combined wave energy is zero (0). Not a single wave with any power. The mornings might be glassy and the afternoons clean with light winds, but there's no swell. The water is a warm 80°F, which is a touch warmer than usual, but you’ll be bobbing around like a cork, not surfing.
And it doesn't get any better into September. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th of September show the same story – no swell. There was a hint of a 0.2m (0.7ft) wave on Monday the 24th of August, but with a period of only 4 seconds, that's just a breeze on the surface, not a wave you can surf. Don't bother.
This is a real dry spell. For this spot, it's not unusual to see a blank run like this, but it’s a tough pill to swallow. The forecast can change, and it usually doesn't stay this quiet for long, but for now, keep the wax in the wrapper.
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.
