The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this stretch is mostly a dud. From now through the start of October, the surf is small, weak, and windblown for days. The first real chance of anything half-decent pops up around mid-month, but there’s a long gap of flatness before a single morning at the end of the run might be worth a look.
The whole pattern is pretty grim: tiny swell, short periods, and winds that are either onshore or cross-onshore. The water temp at Dromi (Ashdod) is a toasty 86°F, which is about 5°F warmer than average, so you’re swimmin’ in bathwater. Combined swell energy is weak—mostly in the single or low double digits (like 10–17) early on.
First flicker of hope is Wednesday the 16th. Dawn patrol with glassy conditions, 3-foot swell out of the NW at 7 seconds, and energy just under 75—still weak, but clean. The wind is calm, so it’ll be smooth if you’re on a longboard. Afternoon gets wrecked by a 12 mph onshore, so it’s a one-session window.
Then a long lull until Sunday the 27th—that’s your standout. Early morning with glassy winds, swell bumpin’ up to 4 feet from the WNW at 8 seconds, and energy climbing to 193 (moderate). That’s the most push we’ve seen in the whole 16 days. The offshore NE breeze keeps it clean. It’s short-period, so don’t expect long walls, but there’ll be enough to get a few fun rides on a hybrid or fish. The afternoon builds to 5 feet but gets chopped up by a 16 mph cross-onshore, so get out early.
If you’re itchin’ for a paddle, the morning of Sunday the 27th is the only real option. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but for now, that’s your best bet in a pretty bare forecast.
Rusty.
