The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty flat and uninspiring for the Ashdod stretch. The only break on the radar is Dromi (Ashdod), a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, but it’s facing a tough run. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
The first proper surfable day doesn’t show up until Sunday, 9th August, and even then it’s only marginal. The morning of the 9th has a weak swell from the WNW at 3 ft and a period of 6 seconds, so it’s short-period, mushy stuff. The combined energy is a paltry 52, which is weak, and the wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW. It’s not great, but if you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high wave or two. After that, things go back to poor conditions for days.
There’s a real gap here – from the 4th of August right through to the 9th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swells are tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the wave energy rarely climbs above 60. The best you’ll see is on Sunday, 16th August, when the morning swell hits 3 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period and the combined energy nudges up to 80 – still weak, but the wind is light and cross-shore from the WSW. It’s a marginal call, but if you’ve got a log and low expectations, it might be your best bet.
Beyond that, the 19th of August has a morning of 3 ft WNW swell with a 7-second period, and the wind is light onshore from the NW. The energy is only 61, and it’s still rated as marginal. Honestly, there’s no standout session here – nothing that’ll get the heart pumping. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell, with only a couple of days that even flirt with rideable. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a disappointing run. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it can’t stay this quiet forever.
Rusty.
