The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. I'm gonna level with you – this outlook is a rough one. Over the next 16 days, there's nothing worth paddling out for. No real surf options to speak of, so don't expect much.
The only spot in the conversation is Ha Golshim, a sheltered beginner wave that doesn't break all that often. The water's sitting about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year, running around 83°, which feels nice but that's about the only highlight.
It kicks off on Sunday the 19th of July with a weak 2ft swell out of the WNW, only 7 seconds apart, and that onshore breeze is blowing 12 mph, just mucking it all up. "Poor surf conditions" is the name of the game – a flat zero out of ten. Monday and Tuesday aren't any better with 1ft waves at 6 seconds. Monday morning has a dead glassy surface, but the wave energy is a pathetic 16 (weak energy). That bump won't hold up.
The whole first week is a grind. Then on Saturday the 25th of July morning we get the biggest pulse – 3ft from the WNW at 8 seconds, with a light 6 mph cross-offshore wind cleaning it right up. The combined energy climbs to 117 (moderate energy), but it's still only "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's as good as it gets, and that's not saying much.
After that, it's back to the desert. Through the end of July and into the start of August, we're stuck below 3ft. A couple of mornings, like Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 3rd of August, have that glassy look, but the swell is a joke – 1ft to 2ft at 6 or 7 seconds, with energy readings barely cracking 30 (weak energy). It's a dead period.
Ha Golshim just doesn't fire often, so this kind of flat spell is pretty normal for here. Forecasts can always twist, but right now, save the wax. There's nothing to ride.

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.
Ha Golshim is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Bat Yam. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bat Yam. Bat Yam has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
