The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next 16 days, and I’ll be honest, it’s a quiet stretch.
Looking at the overall pattern, this is a real skinny spell. The swell is small and weak through the whole period, and the wave quality is being called poor for the entire forecast. There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile right from the start.
The first possible surf window is on Sunday, 30th August, but it’s not one to get excited about. Ha Golshim is a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot, and it’s showing a 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 361, but the wind is a light onshore breeze at 6 mph, and the surf is just messy. The water temperature is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is not the day to paddle out; it’s a poor session.
The surf drops off quickly after that. Monday the 31st has a 3ft swell, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy with poor conditions. The energy drops to 117. Tuesday morning, 1st September, actually goes glassy with a tiny 3ft swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and energy is down to 70. The surf is still labelled poor. The rest of the first week into September is all small, weak dribble with heights under 3ft, periods of 6 to 7 seconds, and energy levels barely reaching double digits. Winds are a mixed bag, but the wave quality never improves.
The second week offers no real change. From 3rd September through to 14th September, the swell stays below 3ft, periods are mostly 6 to 7 seconds, and the combined energy peaks at a modest 75. There are a few glassy mornings, like Thursday 10th and Friday 11th September, which could be a nice paddle for a beginner, but the waves are just too small and weak to call it good surf. The whole period is a bust.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the glassy Tuesday morning on 1st September. The wind goes dead calm, and the swell is a clean 3ft from the WNW, but with a short period of 7 seconds and energy of only 70, it’s a session for the log or maybe a longboard, not a grovel board. The crowd profile at Ha Golshim is “sometimes,” so you might have company, but it won’t be a zoo.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The area is seeing no consistent, quality swell. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the gear in the shed.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Ha Golshim can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ha Golshim 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.

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 Ha Golshim 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.
