The Lowdown
Alright, I’m lookin’ at the whole 16-day window for Ha Golshim, and honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s flat. Dead flat. There’s no good surf to get excited about, not a single standout session worth paddling out for. The whole forecast period is a washout, and I’ll walk you through why.
We start off on Monday, August 3rd, with a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, but it’s got a short period of just 4 seconds, and the wind is a cross-on from the north. The combined energy is only 20, which is weak. The water’s sitting at 84°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing. The surf is just poor, with light cross-onshore bumps.
Tuesday the 4th starts glassy in the morning, which is nice, but that 2ft swell from the NW with a 5-second period barely counts. It’s still poor surf. The afternoons are consistently choppy.
Every single day through the first week – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday – it’s the same story. Tiny swells between 1ft and 3ft, periods hanging around 4 to 7 seconds, and winds mostly cross-on or onshore. The combined energy never gets above 56, which is weak. The swell is coming from the WNW, which is a poor match for the optimum direction at this sheltered spot.
The second week doesn’t give us any hope either. From Monday the 10th all the way through to Monday the 17th, it’s still tiny. Morning glass-offs on the 14th and 16th are a tease, but the swell is pathetic – 1ft to 2ft, with periods of 5 to 7 seconds. Combined energy stays below 35. This is a blank run, plain and simple.
There is a tiny flicker right at the very end on Tuesday, August 18th. The swell finally bumps up to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds in the morning, and the combined energy hits 105, which is moderate. The wind is cross-shore and light. By afternoon, it’s 4ft with an 8-second period, and the energy climbs to 151. But still, the forecast scores it as poor surf, and the wind goes onshore and choppy in the afternoon. It’s just not enough to save the outlook.
So, bottom line: there’s nothing here. No waves worth paddling for. This is a spot that’s inconsistent, and this run of poor conditions is normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.

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.
