The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Alykes over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, this is a tough one. The outlook is barren for almost the entire forecast period. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing to get excited about until the very tail end of the 16-day window.
For the first 16 days, from Saturday the 5th of September right through to late on Monday the 14th of September, there is literally no surf at all. Just flat, calm conditions with a mix of glassy mornings and clean afternoons. It’s beautiful weather for a swim or a paddleboard, but for a surfboard? Forget it. There is a 10-day gap with zero swell. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for this area when there’s no energy in the water.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the end. On Tuesday the 15th of September, we finally see a tiny pulse of swell. In the afternoon, a small 2ft wave from the NW shows up, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at just 21, so it’ll be pretty weak and crumbly. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 15 km/h, which will keep it clean. This is really only for beginners on a foamie. Don't expect much. That’s it for the whole outlook.
After that, it’s back to nothing for the rest of the week through to Sunday the 20th of September. A long, quiet stretch.
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.
