The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s call a spade a spade – this 16-day forecast is a real stinker. There’s no good surf on the table, and I mean none.
It all kicks off on Tuesday, 11 August, with nothing doing. The swell is barely a wobble at 2ft from the WNW, with a short, weak 6-second period. The combined wave energy is a pathetic 26. Throw in a cross-onshore breeze, and you’re better off staying home.
That’s the theme for the whole first week and beyond. Day in, day out, we’re looking at tiny 2ft to 3ft waves, short periods mostly between 6 and 8 seconds, and winds that are either onshore or cross-onshore. The energy numbers stay well under 100 – there’s just no grunt in the water. For Ha Golshim, which is already an inconsistent, sheltered little break, this kind of drawn-out flat spell is just how it goes sometimes.
There are a couple of mornings where the wind goes dead glassy – Wednesday 19 August and Thursday 20 August – but the swell is still tiny (2ft to 3ft) and weak. You could bob around on a soft-top, but that’s about the limit.
The "biggest" swell of the whole outlook shows up on Tuesday 25 August: a whole 3ft from the WNW with a 7-second period. The energy hits a lofty 51. It’s still not enough to get excited about, and the wind turns onshore in the afternoon.
No standouts. Nothing worth waiting for. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. If you’ve got to paddle, aim for those glassy mornings mid-to-late week, but don’t expect a wave. Water temps are a touch warmer than usual, at about 85°, but that’s small comfort.
Signing off, Rusty.

Information about the Ha Golshim Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ha Golshim provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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. If you surf the same spot (Ha Golshim) 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 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.
