Dromi (Ashdod) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Dromi (Ashdod) over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a quiet stretch. The forecast is a long, drawn-out run of tiny, weak swell with next to no push, so we’re looking at a gap with no real surfing to speak of right through until the very end of the month.

The whole first week and a half is a flat spell. From Friday the 21st right through to Saturday the 29th of August, it’s all under 2 ft of swell with periods barely cracking 8 seconds. That’s just wind chop and slop, not proper waves. The combined wave energy sits below 100 (9–52), which tells you there’s no grunt in the water. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s messy and uninviting. Even the glassy mornings on Monday the 24th and Wednesday the 26th only have 1 ft to 2 ft of weak stuff – not worth paddling out for.

Then, on Sunday the 30th of August, there’s a little flicker of life. The morning brings a glassy surface with 2 ft of swell from the WNW, period stretching to 8 seconds, and the combined energy finally climbs to 41. It’s still tiny and very ordinary – just about surfable but nothing to get excited about. That’s the only morning in the whole run that scores any nod at all, and even then it’s a 1/10, so keep the expectations low.

After that, it drops right back off. The first few days of September are the same story: small, weak, and mostly onshore. The only other standout moment is Friday the 4th of September – a glassy morning again with 2 ft from the WNW and a 7-second period, energy at 36. It’s clean but still very marginal.

For beginners, this is pretty safe – the swell never gets above 2 ft, so there’s no danger. But honestly, for anyone wanting a proper wave, this stretch is a write-off. The break here is fairly consistent, so this kind of blank run is just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can always change, but right now, the board stays on the rack.

Rusty.
