Alright, let’s get real here. I’ve had a look at what’s coming for Dromi (Ashdod), and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run. This is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, exposed to swell, but the direction it wants is from the west. Problem is, for the next couple of weeks, the swell is mostly coming from the west-northwest, which isn’t a total write-off, but the wind and size are just not playing ball.
Water temp is sitting around 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re waiting for something.
Let’s walk through it. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th? Forget it – we’ve got swell around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the wind is cross or cross-on from the west at 12-13 mph, making a mess of things. Poor surf, no score. Friday the 10th morning offers a little hope: swell drops to 3 ft, but the wind goes light cross-off from the south-southwest, so it cleans up. The combined energy is weak (47), and it’s short-period stuff at 6 seconds, so it’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s your only real window in the first week.
From Saturday the 11th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a long, bleak stretch. Swell stays tiny – mostly 1 ft to 3 ft – and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore in the afternoons. Mornings occasionally go glassy, like on Sunday the 12th and again on Sunday the 19th, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. You’ll be sitting on a 1 ft to 3 ft wave with no push. The energy numbers are in the teens and twenties – barely a ripple.
Then, right at the tail end, Wednesday the 22nd morning shows a bit of a pulse. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the west-northwest, period stretches to 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 224 (moderate). Wind is light cross from the southwest at 6 mph, so it’s actually surfable – but the guidance calls it marginal. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s the best-looking morning in the whole 16-day run. Thursday the 23rd drops back to 3 ft with moderate cross-onshore wind, so not much to write home about.
The standout? It’s got to be Wednesday 22nd July morning at Dromi. That 4 ft swell from the west-northwest, light crosswind, moderate energy – for a beginner-friendly beach break, that’s your best shot. But honestly, this is a spot that just doesn’t get good often in this window. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with 12 mph onshore wind and 3 ft chop might look more interesting than anything a paddle surfer will find.
So, there you go. A lot of waiting, a couple of mornings that are barely surfable, and one morning that’s worth setting the alarm for. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is what we’ve got.
