The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here.
First up, I gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks are a real struggle for surf around Antenot. We've got a long, flat spell to start with, and honestly, across the entire 16-day window, there's nothing that I'd call a proper surf session. The patterns just aren't coming together.
From the get-go, Wednesday the 19th of August through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny. We're looking at ankle-to-knee high waves, mostly around 1 ft to 2.3 ft, and the period is short, between 3 and 8 seconds. That's weak, local windswell with no power behind it. The combined energy for the whole stretch is in the single digits or low double digits (e.g., 26, 32, 8, 6), which is about as weak as it gets.
The wind is a bit of a tease. We get a few glassy moments – Friday morning the 21st and Tuesday morning the 25th are dead calm, and the 31st of August is also glassy. But with no swell to work with, it's just a flat, pretty ocean. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal, sitting at 85.8°F, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
We do see a tiny bump in energy around the 29th of August, with the swell hitting 2.3 ft and the combined energy climbing to 51 and 44. That's still weak, though, and the period is only 7 seconds. The wind is poor – cross-shore or onshore – so it'll be choppy and messy. Even on the morning of the 30th of August, with a light cross-shore breeze and 2.3 ft swell, it's just not enough to get excited about.
Into the first week of September, the pattern repeats. Tiny swell, weak energy, and mostly onshore winds. The morning of the 3rd of September sees a glass-off, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft with a combined energy of only 3. It's a pond.
Bottom line: this is a total washout. The break is inconsistent and exposed to a W swell direction, but the optimum swell direction is from the W, so the setup is right. We just aren't getting any of that swell. For a break that's rated as beginner-friendly, the conditions are so poor that even a beginner would be wasting their time. There's no standout, no highlight, nothing to recommend. Sometimes you get a blank run, and this is one of them. Keep the board in the car and watch the charts.

Information about the Antenot Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Antenot provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Antenot can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Antenot 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 (Antenot) 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 Antenot 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.
Antenot is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Herzliya. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Herzliya. Herzliya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
