The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The outlook for the next 16 days is a real quiet one. Honestly, there’s just not much swell energy to work with at all. We’ve got a long stretch coming up where the ocean is basically flat, so you’ll need to be patient.
The first chance to get wet comes on Friday, July 24th, but it’s barely a ripple. Alykes (Zakynthos) is looking at a tiny 1ft southeast swell with a period of 2 seconds. That’s weak, short-period slop, and the combined energy is only 1. The water is sitting at 80°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The morning has a moderate cross-offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean, but there’s just no push to the waves. This one is a beginner-only option, and even then, it’s inconsistent. It’s a fairly exposed spot, but with that little energy, it’s not going to do much.
After that, it goes quiet again. The next blip shows up on Wednesday, July 29th with a tiny 1ft northeast swell early in the morning under glassy conditions. The period is only 3 seconds, so it’s another weak, short-period pulse. The combined energy is still just 1. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 0.7ft from the north-northeast, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. These are barely surfable, and the break is inconsistent to begin with. This is a spot that rarely fires, and this window isn’t changing that.
Given the consistent lack of swell and poor surf conditions across the entire 16-day period, there are no true standouts. The forecast is for a long, flat spell, which is more normal for the area at this time of year. The winds are often light and glassy in the mornings, which is a good sign for the future, but for now, the blank run looks set to continue. If you’re desperate, maybe bring a longboard and a lot of patience.
Rusty.
