The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty. Let’s get straight into it. The forecast is looking pretty bleak for the next sixteen days at Ha Golshim. Honestly, there’s not a single session I’d get excited about paddling out for. The whole run is a write-off.
We’ve got a long gap of nothing but poor surf conditions from the start. The water is sitting at 85°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only interesting thing happening. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, and it’s coming from the WNW which is the optimum direction for this sheltered spot, but the period is short – between 5 and 8 seconds. That’s weak, wind-swell energy, with combined energy readings barely cracking 60 (62 is the highest on the afternoon of August 8th). It’s just not doing anything.
The wind is all over the place too. Most mornings have a light cross or cross-onshore breeze, and the afternoons are blown out with onshore winds hitting 12 mph to 16 mph. There are a couple of glassy mornings on August 10th and 11th, but with only 2 ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s barely a ripple. You’d be sitting on a board doing nothing.
Because the swell is so small and the quality is poor, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the afternoons with solid onshore wind. Don’t bother getting wet for this one. The entire sixteen-day window is a blank run, and for this area, it’s just one of those quiet spells. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
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.
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.
