Ha Golshim Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

Honestly, for the next 16 days, it’s a pretty bleak stretch. There’s no solid surf on the table. The only break in the mix is Ha-Golshim, and it’s a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot that barely gets a whisper of energy. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice if you’re just floating around.

We start off on Wednesday morning the 29th of July with a tiny 2ft swell coming from the WNW at a short 5-second period. The combined swell energy is a weak 20 and the wind is a cross-shore breeze at 9 mph. The conditions are poor and the score is a flat zero. That’s how it’s going to be for a while.

Through Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday, the swell bumps up to 3ft, but the period stays short at 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. Thursday morning does have a light 3 mph wind, but it’s cross-onshore, so there’s still a bit of ripple. The energy is still weak, maxing out at 62 on Thursday morning.

Friday the 31st of July keeps the same story: 2ft swell, short period, and mostly onshore or choppy afternoons. There’s a brief moment on Saturday morning the 1st of August where it goes glassy with a 3 mph NW wind and a 2ft WNW swell, but the period is only 7 seconds and the energy is a measly 47. It’s still poor surf conditions. Don’t get your hopes up.

From there, it’s a long, flat run. Swell drops to 2ft and even 1ft by the 9th of August. The occasional glassy morning pops up – like on Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th – but with only 1ft and 1ft of weak, short-period swell, there’s nothing to ride. The energy numbers are scraping the bottom, dropping as low as 6 on the 9th.

There’s a slight lift toward the end. On Monday the 10th of August, the morning has a 1ft cross-shore swell, but the afternoon jumps to 3ft from WNW with an 8-second period and energy of 80. Still, the wind is onshore at 12 mph and the conditions are labelled poor. Tuesday the 11th has a similar morning with light cross-shore wind and 3ft swell, but again, it’s not enough to recommend.

The last few days into the 13th of August show no change – tiny swell, short period, onshore or cross winds, and energy staying below 90 at best. There’s just no good surf on offer anywhere in this 16-day window. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. Forecasts can always shift, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

Stay patient, keep an eye on it, but don’t plan a session around this one.

Rusty.
