The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Frishman. Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window and there’s just one break to work with, and it’s a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot. The honest truth is there’s nothing worth paddling out for in the entire forecast period. Every single day comes back with a score of zero, and the wave comment just says “poor surf conditions.”
The first week and a half is dominated by tiny, weak swell. We’re talking 1ft to 3ft waves from the WNW, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’s lacking any real push. The combined wave energy is mostly in the weak range, hitting values like 18 to 113 (weak to low moderate). Winds are a mix of cross, cross-on, and onshore, with a few brief glassy mornings on Saturday 18th July, Sunday 19th July, and Monday 20th July. Even those glassy windows only have 1ft to 2ft on offer. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Things look a little more interesting around the 24th and 25th of July. Swell bumps up to 4ft to 5ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds, and combined energy jumps into the moderate to strong range (196 to 378). That’s the most energy we see in the whole run. But here’s the catch – the wind is persistent cross or cross-on, with gusts up to 12 mph from the SSW and WSW. It’s choppy, and the wave comment still says poor. The size is there, but the quality is shot.
Frishman is a sheltered spot, so it’s not getting the full brunt of the ocean, but when the swell does bump up, the local wind just ruins it. The optimum swell direction is WNW, and we do get that, but the timing and wind never line up. It’s a beginner-friendly break, inconsistent, and crowds are “sometimes” – but there’s no point worrying about crowds when there’s no surf.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent in nature, this blank run is a bit of a shocker, but sometimes the forecast gets it wrong. A change in the wind could flip the script. For now, save the wax and watch the horizon.
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.
