Alright, Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on the local surf scene for the next couple of weeks. Let's be straight with each other – it's looking grim.
To be honest, there isn't a single wave worth paddling out for in the entire 16-day window. The data is clear: every single time slot at Alykes is showing a combined swell energy of 0, and the wave comment consistently says "poor surf conditions." That's a flat spell, plain and simple. You won't find any swell to push you around.
Alykes itself is a beginner spot that’s inconsistent and only fairly exposed. The usual optimum swell is from the NE, but we're not seeing that at all. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't feel it on your face because you'll be sitting on the beach.
The whole period is a wipeout. From Friday the 10th of July all the way through to Saturday the 25th of July, it’s a total blank. There’s nothing. Not even a tiny ripple to get excited about. With such a long stretch of nothing, it's one of those runs where you just have to accept the area is going flat. Forecasts can change, but for now, the only thing breaking is your heart.
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.
