The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at the whole picture for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for us. We’re looking at a really skinny run with very little to get excited about.
The water is sitting at 86° at the start of the period, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year – that’s a weird one, feels more like a late summer swim than proper surf season.
Alright, so the outlook starts with a long gap of no good surf. From now through to the end of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 3ft, with short-period windswell of 5-7 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely getting into double digits most days, like 72 or 30. On top of that, the winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, just chopping everything up. Ha-Arubot is an exposed spot, but the swell direction is WNW, which isn’t even its optimum from the west. The water’s warm but there’s no waves to enjoy it in.
There’s a glimmer of something, but it’s late in the game. On Monday, the 31st of August, we see a bit more energy with 4ft swell from the WNW, period 8 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 142 (moderate), and the morning wind is a light cross-shore. It’s still rated as poor conditions though. The crowd factor here is “sometimes,” so you might have company, but the break is also *inconsistent*, so don’t bank on it. This is probably the only window where you could get a grovelly little wave, but it’s not a stand-out day, just the best of a bad bunch.
Then into the start of September, there’s a slight uptick. Tuesday the 1st of September morning shows 3ft swell, period 8 seconds, with some light cross-onshore wind and a “marginal” rating. The wave energy is 95, still just below moderate levels. Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is similar at 2ft.
So, the best on offer? Honestly, Monday the 31st of August morning is the one. It’s the biggest swell of the whole period at 4ft, the wind is manageable, and the period is okay. But it’s still small and inconsistent. The rest of the 16 days is flat or too messy to bother with. Hang in there or go for a swim – the water’s lovely.
