The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Ha Golshim. Straight up, this is going to be a quiet stretch of beach for a while. I’ve got to be honest, the entire 16-day window is looking pretty flat and messy for any proper surfing. There are no standout sessions, and for a long run, you’d be better off finding something else to do.
The first solid week, from August 9th right through to the 16th, is a write-off. The swell is tiny, between 1ft and 2ft, coming mostly from a W to WNW direction, with a short, weak period of just 6 to 8 seconds. That’s not going to push you anywhere. The wave energy is low (34), and it stays weak all week. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, which just chops it up. On the morning of August 12th and 13th, the wind goes glassy, but with only 1ft to 2ft of weak, short-period swell, it’s pretty much a flat lake – no energy to ride. The water temp is sitting about 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but with no waves, it’s just a warm bath.
Moving into the second week, things get a tiny bit of a lift. On Monday, August 17th through Wednesday, August 19th, the swell height bumps up to 3ft to 3ft from the WNW, still with a short period (7 seconds). The energy finally ticks over into the moderate range (105 on Monday afternoon), but the winds are still cross-onshore or straight onshore, making it choppy and bumpy. It’s not surfable.
From August 20th onward, it drops back down. Thursday morning, August 20th, has 2ft and a light cross breeze, but the period is still short at 6 seconds and the energy is low (28). There are a few glassy mornings on August 21st, 23rd, and 24th, but the swell during those windows is only 1ft to 2ft with no period to speak of. There is absolutely nothing here to get excited about. The spot is already sheltered and inconsistent, and this forecast confirms a long, blank run.
Given the consistent lack of decent swell and the poor, bumpy conditions, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period.
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.

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.
