The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell across the board. For Alykes (Zakynthos) there’s basically nothing doing. We’re looking at a long, dry run with no real surf to speak of from now right through the entire 16-day window. The first little bump shows up on the afternoon of the 12th of August, but it’s barely a ripple – 0.3 ft from the NW with a period of just 4 seconds, and combined swell energy is a measly 1. That’s not even worth getting the board wet for.
Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but with no waves that’s just a nice temperature for a swim.
The pattern stays the same: most mornings are glassy or with a light breeze, and afternoons see a bit more wind, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no swell pushing in. There’s a tiny increase on the morning of the 14th of August – 1 ft from the NE, period 3 seconds, energy still only 2. Still junk. By Saturday afternoon the 15th, we get a brief moment of offshore wind from the SSW at 3 mph, but with no swell height recorded, it’s a flat, clean ocean.
From there it’s just day after day of zeros on the swell height. Some mornings are glassy, some afternoons have clean conditions, but we’ve got nothing to ride. The best wind we see is a few glassy mornings on the 12th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 24th of August, and a couple of offshore afternoons on the 15th and 20th, but again, no swell.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this is about as quiet as it gets. If you’re a beginner just wanting to paddle around in clean, flat water, you’ve got plenty of options, but for actual surfing? Forget it. This stretch is a total write-off. Keep an eye on the long-range – it can’t stay this flat forever, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.
