Dromi (Ashdod) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the local stretch. I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it—this is a lean spell. The whole 16-day window is basically one long quiet patch with barely a pulse.

We’re looking at a run of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or light variable winds. The only break on the cards is Dromi (Ashdod). The water’s sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, but not what we’re used to.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Wednesday morning, September 9th. Even then, it’s pretty ordinary: a tiny 2 ft swell out of the WNW, with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is only 65 (weak), but the morning glass-off with calm wind and glassy conditions is the only real appeal. It’s surfable, just barely, but you won’t be telling stories about it.

After that, it’s back to a long, dry gap. From Wednesday afternoon right through to the morning of Monday, September 15th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for—poor surf, tiny waves, and onshore breezes. A real desert stretch.

Monday, September 15th morning shows a marginal 2 ft swell with onshore wind—not great, but if you’re desperate, it’s a 1 out of 10 kind of morning. Then another gap until Wednesday, September 16th morning, when we get the best of a bad lot: a 3 ft WNW swell, glassy conditions under a light air with no wind, and combined energy creeping up to 76. It’s still weak, but by this region’s standards, it’s the cleanest window.

Thursday, September 17th morning actually pushes the swell up to 4 ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period and combined energy hitting 207 (moderate). Problem is, the wind is light cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect. Still, if you’re jonesing, that’s your best bet in the whole outlook—a little bump in size, but expect some ripples on the face.

From there, the trend fades again. Friday, September 18th morning returns to glassy, calm conditions with a dropping 4 ft swell, and then it’s back to tiny, weak surf through to the end of the period on September 21st.

So, the honest truth: there’s no standout, no day you’d mark on the calendar. The best on offer is Thursday, September 17th morning for a bit of size, or Wednesday, September 16th morning for clean, glassy conditions on a small wave. Bring a longboard and low expectations.

Stay patient, mates. Conditions like this don’t last forever.

Rusty.
