The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Dromi (Ashdod) is a tough one to call. Honestly, it’s a real struggle. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at a flat spell that’s hard to get excited about.
The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Saturday the 25th of July, and even then it’s a marginal call. Before that, from Friday the 17th right through to Friday the 24th, we’ve got a solid eight days of poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is weak – values are all in the double digits, like 27 on the 18th. It’s not surfable.
Saturday the 25th of July morning is the first flicker of life. We see a jump in swell to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 219 (moderate energy), and the wind is light from the SW, so it’s cross-shore with just small ripples. It’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve got so far. The water temp is 82°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Then, on Monday the 27th of July morning, we get another look. Swell is 3ft from the WNW, period 7 seconds, but the wind is light cross-onshore from the north. Energy is 89, so still weak. It’s a ‘marginal’ call again.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday the 28th of July morning. Glassy conditions with the wind calm from the NW, and a clean 2ft swell from the WNW at 8 seconds. The energy is 51 (weak), but the glassy surface means it’ll be clean. For a beginner spot that’s ‘fairly consistent’, this is about as good as it gets in this run. The swell direction (WNW) is not the optimum W direction, but for a small wave, it’ll do.
Wednesday the 29th of July morning also has glassy conditions with a light WSW breeze, and a 2ft swell from the NW. This is another ‘surfable but very ordinary’ option.
The second week into August keeps the same pattern: tiny, weak swell with onshore winds. No real standouts. The whole period is a grind. For an area that’s ‘fairly consistent’, this is a poor run, but forecasts can change. For now, if you’re a beginner and you’re desperate, the 28th morning is your best bet. It’s clean, small, and safe.
Rusty.
