Dromi (Ashdod) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The surf is looking pretty flat and weak for the next week and a half around Dromi (Ashdod). We’ve got a lot of small, short-period wind swell and a lot of lumpy, onshore conditions to sift through. Don't get too excited, but there are a couple of mornings that'll get you out there for a grovel if you're keen.

Looking at the start of the period, there’s not much on the table. The first real window we can talk about is Tuesday morning, the 18th. We’ve got a glassy 3ft of west-northwest swell with a weak 7-second period. The energy is low at (68), and it's surfable, but it's super ordinary. You’ll get some dribbly little shoulders, but it’s not going to light the world on fire.

After that, the surf just fades. From the 19th through to the morning of the 29th, it's basically a wasteland. Swell heights drop to around 1ft to 2ft, with periods down in the 5-6 second range. The energy readings are mostly in the low teens and twenties, which is just weak. Afternoon winds are mostly onshore, chopping up whatever tiny bump there is. There’s a couple of glassy mornings, but the swell is just so tiny it’s hardly worth the paddle. Expect a long, flat stretch for about ten days.

Now, the first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Saturday, the 29th of August. Overnight, a new pulse of swell starts to fill in. The morning sees 4ft of west-northwest swell with a period of 8 seconds. The energy reading jumps to (173), which is a moderate push of energy. There is a light cross-onshore wind to deal with, which will put a bit of texture on the surface, but it's still surfable. The size is there for a fun, punchy little beach break. It’s a marginal call, but it's the best we've seen in a week and a half.

The energy builds into the end of the month. Monday the 31st is a mixed bag. The morning has a cross-shore wind that's going to make it messy, but the swell is up to 4ft. The afternoon sees the swell push to 4ft and the energy jumps to (212). It's a stronger, more powerful swell, but the onshore wind is going to turn it into a choppy, blown-out mess. Not the pick.

The standout for the whole period is the morning of Tuesday, the 1st of September. This is the one to circle. We’ve got a clean 3ft of west-northwest groundswell with a longer 9-second period. The energy is solid at (157). What makes it special is the wind: light, cross-offshore from the south-southwest. That's clean. The kind of conditions that will have the banks at Dromi (Ashdod) looking fun and lined up. This is about as good as it gets in the whole forecast window.

After that, things start to fade again into the start of September. The surf drops back down to 3ft with the period shrinking back to 7 seconds, and the energy drops to (68). So, if you only get one session in, make it the 1st of September.
