The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and let's be honest about what Frishman's got cookin'. It's a dry spell, plain and simple. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy surf. The only window that even blips on the radar doesn't open up until the very end of the month.
From now through the end of August, it's flat. The swell is a joke, running from 1ft to 2ft, and the period is short – 5 to 7 seconds. That's all windswell, no grunt. The combined wave energy is pitiful, sitting between 7 and 93. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, kicking up chop. You'll get a glassy morning on the 18th and 21st, but with no swell, who cares?
We finally get a pulse on the morning of Saturday, 29th August. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, pushing the energy to 157. That's finally some moderate juice. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's not clean but it's a start. Monday, 31st August afternoon, looks to be the biggest of the bunch: 4ft WNW swell, same 8-second period, and energy at 192. Still cross-onshore.
If I'm pointing you anywhere, it's the morning of Tuesday, 1st September. We've got a 3ft WNW swell, a 9-second period (that's a bit more shape), and moderate energy of 144. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is the best wind of the whole forecast. It's still small, but it's the cleanest Frishman is gonna look.
Let's not kid ourselves: Frishman is a sheltered, inconsistent beginner break. This forecast is exactly what you'd expect. The right direction (WNW) shows up, but the size and consistency don't. For 16 days, every session is rated as "poor surf conditions." That's a solid week-plus of nothing. If you're itching to get wet, that Tuesday 1st September morning is your best shot, but don't expect much. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
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.
