The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be honest – there’s nothing worth paddling out for at Alykes over the next sixteen days. The whole forecast window, from Saturday 18 July through to Sunday 2 August, is a total blank. No swell to speak of. The biggest reading I can see is a pathetic 2ft on the afternoon of Thursday 23 July, period just 6 seconds, combined energy only 21 – that’s weak as dishwater. Every other day is either zero swell or tiny dribbles of 1ft–1ft with periods under 4 seconds. Even the wind cooperates sometimes – glassy mornings on the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 1st August – but with no waves, it’s just a flat, pretty lake.
Alykes is a beginner spot, inconsistent by nature, and it needs a decent NE swell to light up. The guidance says it’s fairly exposed to swell, but the way this forecast sits, there’s not a single pulse coming from anywhere. For a spot that already breaks rarely, this kind of dry run is pretty normal – don’t expect much in summer around here. Forecasts can change, but right now I’d leave the boards at home and maybe go for a swim instead.
