The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one for the Frishman area. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for over the next week and a half. The first real shot of anything surfable doesn’t come until Monday, September 7th, so be prepared for a solid gap of over a week with nothing to recommend.
The water here is sitting at 85°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, but that’s about the only positive.
Right now and through the rest of August, it’s all tiny, short-period junk. Swell heights are stuck between 1ft and 3ft, periods around 5 to 8 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, messing up what little shape there is. The combined energy is weak, hanging around 13 to 65, so there’s just no power. It’s a sad sight for a surfer.
Into the first few days of September, it’s more of the same – tiny waves, weak energy, and mostly bumpy conditions. The morning of Tuesday, September 1st, does go glassy, but with only 3ft of WNW swell and a period of 8 seconds, the energy is a paltry 69 – it’s barely rideable for a beginner on a longboard, and even then, Frishman is an inconsistent, sheltered spot, so it’s a gamble.
Finally, on Monday, September 7th, we get a little life. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 173 – that’s moderate wave energy, and it’s the only day in the whole forecast that gets a “surfable” tag. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. This is the standout, but it’s still modest. The afternoon sees the wind go cross-onshore and chop it up, so get on it early. After that, it fades back to nothing.
Simply put, if you’re desperate, Monday the 7th morning is your only real window. For the rest of the 16 days, the surf is flat out poor. The breaks around here are inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary.
Rusty.

Information about the Frishman Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Frishman provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Frishman can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Frishman surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Frishman) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Frishman may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Frishman is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Tel Aviv. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
