The Lowdown
Gutted to be the bearer of bad news here, but the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Dromi (Ashdod). To be straight with you, there’s no proper surf on the cards for the entire 16-day window. The swell just isn't there, and what little energy rolls in is mostly short-period windslop that'll have you scratching your head, not paddling out.
We’re looking at a stretch where the waves barely get their head up above 3ft, and the period is stuck down around 6 seconds for most of it. That’s not real swell, that’s just noise. The weak energy numbers tell the story – most of the time we’re seeing combined energy in the low teens to forties (like 31, 38, 39), which is just weak sauce. There’s a slight bump towards the end of the first week, the 17th and 18th, where the energy gets up to 59 and then 81, with the swell pushing to 3ft, but even then, the period is only 7 seconds and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore in the afternoons. That’s not going to be pretty.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, 85°F with a 3°F anomaly, so if you’re just wanting a swim, it’s lovely. But for surfing, it’s a write-off.
The only day that even gets close to being worth a mention is the morning of the 19th of August. We’ve got a light cross-offshore wind, clean conditions, and the swell is at 2ft from the NW. But even that is rated as just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” You’d be kooking it out on a foamie, not threading any barrels. For a beginner, some of these small clean days might be okay for a splash around, but for anyone with a shred of ability, there’s just nothing to work with.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The forecast models are showing nothing on the horizon that would change this. It’s a dead period for the spot, and that’s just how it goes sometimes. The ocean will wake up eventually, but it’s not going to be in this 16-day window. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.
It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. I’d be looking at other things to do for the next two weeks.
