The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you, Frishman is a sheltered little nook, and when the surf dries up around here, it really dries up. We’re looking at a long, quiet run over the next two weeks. The good news? The water temp is about average for the time of year, so it’s not a shock to the system.
The first action we see is on Sunday, the 30th of August. There’s a bit of a pulse, with a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW, but the wind is on it from the west at 9 mph, and the wave energy is only moderate (322). The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s not holding much shape. By the afternoon, the wind picks up to 16 mph, making it cross-on and choppy. It’s a poor surf situation, and I’d be leaving the board in the car.
Monday the 31st sees the swell drop to 3ft, and the wind swings around to a light cross-on. It’s still not clean. The energy drops to 104, and the period is even shorter at 7 seconds. This is junk.
From Tuesday the 1st of September, it gets real small. The swell drops below 3ft, and while we get a few glassy windows on Tuesday morning and Thursday morning, the swell is barely there. The energy values are in the double digits, with the combined energy sitting at 62 on Tuesday morning and dropping to 15 by Thursday. That’s weak, weak energy. The swell period is 6-7 seconds, so it’s all windswell and no grunt.
Thursday the 3rd of September is a classic example – glassy conditions in the morning with a 1ft swell. It’s flat as a pancake. You’d be better off doing laps in the pool.
This pattern of tiny, weak swell and onshore wind continues into the second week. The best you’ll see is a 3ft swell on Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, with some glassy conditions Monday morning, but the period is still a short 6 seconds. The wave energy barely cracks 40. It’s not enough to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s no standout in this 16-day window. The forecast is a long, flat gap. The combination of a sheltered exposure and a lack of any proper groundswell means we’re looking at a blank run. It’s a tough one, but it happens. You’d have to be desperate to get wet right now.
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.
