Ha Golshim Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.

Ha Golshim is the only game in town, and it’s a real quiet stretch ahead. The water is cookin' at 86°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie, not shivering. For the first several days, honestly, there’s barely a ripple. Swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, and coming from the WNW, which is spot-on for this sheltered spot, but the energy is just too weak. The combined energy reading is down in the teens and twenties – that’s flat, no two ways about it. You’ll get some glassy mornings, like Saturday the 12th morning, Sunday the 13th morning, and Monday the 14th morning, with zero wind, but the waves are just not there. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but even a learner needs a little something to push them.

Things start to whisper a little around Wednesday the 16th morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the NW, with combined energy hitting 45. Still small, but it’s a step up. The problem is the wind: it’s cross-onshore and choppy through the afternoons, so the mornings are your only window. That pattern holds through the following week. The swell builds slowly, with the best chance of a proper wave coming on Thursday the 24th morning. That morning we’ve got 4ft of WNW swell, an 8-second period, and combined energy up to 217 – that’s moderate energy, finally. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but rideable. That’s your standout, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it. The afternoon gets chopped up by a moderate breeze.

For the whole 16-day run, the surf is small and inconsistent. There’s no big swell, no long period groundswell, just a long, slow, poor run. A few mornings with glassy conditions will feel nice, but you’ll be doing more floating than surfing. If you’re desperate, that Thursday the 24th morning is the pick, but don’t expect much.

Rusty.
