The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Looking at the Ha Golshim area, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough picture for the next couple of weeks. The water’s running warm, a touch warmer than average for August, but that’s about the only bright spot.
The whole 16-day outlook is dominated by small, weak swell and poor wind. Right from the start on Friday the 14th, we’re looking at close to 0.7ft swell (that's about 2ft) with a short, gutless 6-second period. The wind is junk – cross-shore or cross-onshore – and it’s choppy as hell. That pattern just repeats day after day. Saturday the 15th brings a little more swell, up to about 0.9ft, but it’s still short-period and the wind is cross or onshore.
We finally see a pulse on Sunday the 16th. Swell pushes to 1.0ft (3ft) with a better 8-second interval and the energy bumps up, but the wind is still a light cross-onshore. It’s *marginal* at best – just enough to maybe get a few crumbly ones, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon goes straight back to onshore slop.
Monday the 17th morning has the same struggle: 1ft swell with a cross-onshore breeze. It’s still not clean. After that, the week turns into a flat, wind-ravaged period. There’s one glassy morning on Tuesday the 18th, but the swell drops to 0.8ft with a short period. It’s not going to wrap in or hold up.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this entire 16-day window. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is almost always wrong for Ha Golshim. For a spot that is *inconsistent* anyway, this is a long, quiet stretch. Best to hang the board up for now and keep an eye on the next change. Forecasts shift, but this one’s a bust.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
