The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one to write. The whole 16-day window is a bust for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up.
The first real chance of anything even worth paddling for won’t be until the afternoon of Saturday, August 29th, but even then it’s a struggle. The swell is coming from the WNW at 3 ft with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is only moderate (107). The wind switches onshore from the WNW at 9 mph though, so it’ll be bumpy and uninviting. Honestly, it’s a miss.
The only spot we’ve got to look at is Ha Golshim. It’s a beginner-friendly, sheltered break that’s inconsistent, so you’re already fighting an uphill battle. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
From Sunday, August 30th, through to the end of the forecast on Monday, September 7th, it’s more of the same – tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft dribblers, short periods, and cross-onshore or onshore winds most of the time. It’s a desert. If you’re desperate for a morning glass-off, there are a few windows on Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September with glassy conditions, but the swell is virtually non-existent at 1 ft. It’s barely a ripple.
The best window in the entire run is the morning of Saturday, August 29th. The swell is still small at 3 ft from the WNW, but you get a light cross-shore breeze from the SW at 6 mph. The combined energy is weak (76). It’s not good, it’s just the least bad option. For a beginner, it might be a tiny knee-high novelty, but don’t expect any real waves.
With the swell this small and the wind often messy, and Ha Golshim being a sheltered spot, there’s absolutely nothing for kitesurfing either. Save your energy and wait for the next pattern.
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.
