The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you on this one. We’ve got a 16-day window that starts on the 15th of July, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch for anything decent. The whole period is pretty much a washout for any real surf action. Dromi (Ashdod) is our only option, and it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that’s exposed to the swell, but it likes a west swell the best.
For the first week and a half, from the 15th right through until the 24th of July, it’s flat out no good. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. The wave energy is super low, and the wind is all over the place – cross, onshore, or cross-onshore – making a mess of things. The model calls it all “poor surf conditions,” and I’m with it. Even the glassy mornings on the 18th and 19th are too small to get excited about.
Then, on the 25th of July, things *try* to happen. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period and a solid energy reading of 586. That’s actually a decent amount of power for this spot, but the wind is a mess. The morning is cross-shore, which is okay, but the afternoon goes cross-onshore and choppy. The system rates it as marginal, and honestly, the 6 ft is getting a bit big for the beginners this spot is usually for, and the quality won’t be there. The 26th drops back off quickly, and then we’re back to tiny, weak slop for the rest of the month.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit worries there.
The stand-out, if you can call it that, is the Saturday morning of the 25th of July. You’d get a 6 ft WNW swell with a bit of period on it, and the wind is a light cross-shore from the SW. It’s the only time in the whole forecast where the swell and wind line up to be even remotely rideable, but the quality will be rough. For the rest of the run, you’re better off finding a different hobby. There’s a long gap of no good surf from the 15th to the 24th, and then again after the 25th.
Rusty.
