The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this out there. I've been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. Not one. The models are showing a whole lot of nothing, and it’s not looking like it’s gonna change anytime soon.
The swell energy is just sad. We're looking at numbers like 25, 33, and 60, which is all weak energy. The odd reading pushes to 84, but that’s still weak. The swell is small, with most days offering waves around 1ft to 3ft, and the period is short, mostly 6 seconds, sometimes 7. That’s just wind chop, not a real groundswell. It's the kind of stuff that will have you floating over nothing, not riding anything.
The wind is mostly a problem too. Mornings have that light cross-shore, but the afternoons are consistently ruined by moderate cross-onshore breezes. You get a few glassy patches, like Wednesday morning with 3 mph offshore wind, but it’s on a 2ft, 6-second wave. It might be clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Water temp is 85°F with an anomaly of 3°F, so a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's something, I guess, but it’s not going to make the surf any better.
The only spot on the map is Dromi (Ashdod). It's a beginner spot, fairly consistent, but it's exposed and the swell direction is wrong. It wants west swell, and we're getting a lot of west-northwest. That’s a miss. The crowds are also often an issue there, so on a day with knee-high slop, it’ll be packed with people fighting for nothing.
Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. All that cross-onshore wind and small, choppy waves is a kiter's dream, not a surfer's. If you're into that, you might have some fun. But for the rest of us, it's a blank run.
Look, it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts change. But right now, I’d say park the board and find something else to do. There’s nothing to get excited about.
