The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you – this stretch looks pretty bleak for the most part. We’ve got a long dry spell on our hands, so don’t rush to wax up just yet.
First up, Ha-Golshim. This spot is a sheltered, beginner-friendly wave that only pops up when the swell direction swings from the WNW. The water is sitting at a warm 85.6°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the ocean. But that’s where the good news ends.
Right from the get-go, Wednesday the 19th through to the end of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, never cracking 3 ft, with periods between 5 and 7 seconds – all short-period, weak windswell. The combined wave energy is pathetic, barely breaking double digits most days (26, 24, 6...). Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, flipping from light breezes to moderate, choppy conditions. You’re looking at close to two weeks of poor surf. There’s a glimmer on Tuesday morning the 25th with glassy conditions and Tuesday the 31st with another glassy start, but the swell is still too small and weak to bother.
The one real standout here comes on Tuesday, September 1st. Now we’re talking. A clean 4.3 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds rolls in. The combined wave energy jumps into the moderate zone at 207. The morning is glassy – absolutely dead calm – which is a huge plus for this usually bumpy break. The swell is approaching that beginner threshold but should still be manageable for most. However, this isn’t the kind of swell that’s going to barrel; it’s a pretty straight-forward, mushy wave at this sheltered spot. The afternoon gets blown out by onshore winds, so make the session early. After that, it drops right off again. Thursday the 3rd we’re back to 1.3 ft junk.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got a brutal gap of nearly two weeks with no real recommendations, then one brief, promising morning on September 1st before the tap turns off again. If you’re desperate for a paddle and a few crumblers, that Tuesday morning is your only shot. Otherwise, the forecast can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.
