The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down for the Dromi (Ashdod) zone. Gotta be straight with you – the first two weeks of this forecast are a real snoozer. From now through the end of August, the wave heights are tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the reports all say "poor surf conditions." The water is sitting at 86°F with a 4°F anomaly, so it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Through the end of August, you’re looking at swell heights mostly under 2 ft, with periods as short as 3 seconds. The combined energy figures are in the low double digits or even single digits (weak energy). There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 23rd, but the swell is only 2 ft with a 5-second period – it’s basically a lake. Not worth getting wet for.
We start to see something real on the morning of Monday the 1st of September. Swell comes up to 4 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 161 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the first real pulse of the whole outlook.
The best session of the 16 days is without a doubt the morning of Tuesday the 2nd of September. That morning gives us a 3 ft WNW swell with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s clean, small, fun surf. The combined energy is 112 (moderate wave energy), and for beginners or anyone just wanting to log some easy rides, this is your window. Swell size is totally manageable, and with zero wind, it’ll look like a mirror out there.
Wednesday morning the 3rd of September is another glassy start with 2 ft, but the energy drops back off. After that, the window closes again.
So here’s the call: aim for Dromi on the morning of Tuesday the 2nd of September. That’s your best bet for a clean little session. Everything else is a long wait with very little to offer.
Rusty.
