The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the imperial take. Alright, the outlook for Dromi (Ashdod) over this 16-day stretch is pretty lackluster. We’ve got a long spell of tiny, weak swell and horrible afternoon winds, so don’t get your hopes up.
The first chance to even get wet is Monday morning, August 17th. A small 1 ft swell out of the NW, only 7-second period, and weak energy (79 combined). Wind is cross-on from the WNW at 6 mph, so the surface is a bit bumpy. Not ideal, but you can find a few.
Tuesday morning, August 18th, is the best window in the whole forecast. The swell drops just a touch to just under 3 ft from the WNW, still 7 seconds, but here’s the kicker—glassy conditions with a WSW wind at only 3 mph. That clean surface makes a huge difference. The combined energy is still weak (62), so you’ll be scratching for waves, but it’s the cleanest it gets. A true pick of a bad lot.
After that, it’s grim. Tuesday afternoon onwards through the whole first week brings onshore winds and even smaller swell. By Thursday the 20th, waves are down to 1-2 ft, period dropping to 4 seconds, and combined energy falling into the teens and twenties—just choppy, unrideable junk.
Then from Saturday, August 22nd, right through to Sunday, August 30th, it’s an empty stretch with nothing to offer. The finder flags every session as “poor surf conditions.” Swell drops as low as 1 ft, and combined energy hits single digits. Honestly, it’s a total flat spell. Don’t even bother.
Sunday morning, August 30th, shows a little pulse: just under 3 ft from the WNW, 7 seconds, with glassy conditions under a light W wind at 3 mph. Combined energy climbs to 61—still weak, but it’s surfable. Monday morning, August 31st, is similar: 1 ft from the NW, 6-second period, glassy again. You can get an early session in before the onshore wind ruins it.
Bottom line: the best session is Tuesday morning, August 18th, purely for the glass. Everything else is a struggle. Keep an eye on forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
