The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a real bummer. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, poor surf conditions ahead.
Starting off, the whole 16-day window is dominated by a massive gap. From now, right through to the end of July, there’s absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The first sniff of any wave energy doesn’t show up until Thursday the 30th of July, and even then, it’s a tiny, weak 0.7ft bump from the NNE with a period of just 2 seconds. That’s barely a ripple, and the combined energy is a measly 1, so don’t kid yourself.
The week of the 31st of July through to the 2nd of August brings a few more ripples, with the best of a bad lot being Friday the 31st morning. We’ll see a 2ft swell from the NE, but onshore winds are going to mess it up, so it’s not going to be a pretty picture. The vibe is pretty quiet. After that, from the 3rd of August onward, it’s back to flatness and glassy conditions with no energy at all.
For Alykes (Zakynthos), the water is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about there.
Look, I hate to say it, but there’s truly no standout option across the entire 16 days. The consistent lack of energy and poor quality means this is a blank run for the area. If you’re desperate for a splash, the window around Friday the 31st morning offers the most height, but the onshore wind kills it. For most of us, it’s a good time to wax the longboard for the next glassy flat spell, or just take a break. Forecasts can change, but right now, the ocean is having a lie-in.
Signing off,
Rusty
