The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty quiet out there. We’ve got a 16-day window and honestly, nothing is really stepping up to the plate for a proper session. The first half of the run is full of tiny, weak swell and choppy afternoon winds. There’s not a single standout day I’d get excited about, which is a real bummer. The good news is this patchy run is pretty normal for this time of year, and forecasts can change, so don't write it off completely.
Let’s start with the closest chance we’ve got. On Thursday the 30th of July, early at Dromi (Ashdod), we’ve got a glassy morning with a tiny little 3 ft swell sliding in from the WNW. It’s clean, but the period is short at just 7 seconds, so the energy is weak, only clocking in at 62. It’s surfable, but only just. The afternoon on the 30th turns into a full-on mess with 12 mph onshore winds from the NW, making it poor. Friday the 31st is a carbon copy: glassy morning with 3 ft from the WNW, then blown out by lunch.
From there, it’s a long, drawn-out gap of nothing. Saturday the 1st, Sunday the 2nd, Monday the 3rd – all the surf drops below 3 ft, and the wind just ruins whatever tiny ripple there is. We see a couple more glassy mornings pop up, like Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 12th of August, but the swell is either too small or too weak to care about, with energies sitting in the teens or low 20s.
Even the long-range stuff at the end doesn’t do much. Friday the 14th of August morning shows a bit of a bump, with 3 ft from the WNW and a period stretching to 8 seconds, giving us a slightly better energy reading of 90. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s clean, but the overall score still reads as poor.
Honestly, keep the board in the car and your expectations low. If you’re desperate for a paddle, set your alarm for a glassy morning and take out a longboard for those knee-high dribblers. Otherwise, I’d wait for a better window.
Rusty.
