The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I’ve looked at the charts for the next 16 days, and honestly, it’s a quiet stretch for the region. There's no real swell to get excited about – the ocean is going to be pretty flat for most of the period. The only spot we have on the cards is Ha Golshim, but even that's not looking like it's going to deliver much.
The first few days, from August 8th through the 16th, are a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 3ft, with short periods of 5 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, never breaking 100 (peaking at just 53). It's just not enough to push a decent wave. The wind is all over the place, often cross or cross-onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 12th and 14th, but with zero swell, it doesn't matter.
The outlook picks up a little around Monday, August 17th, and Tuesday, August 18th. The swell bumps up to 3ft - 4ft from the NW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy finally gets into three digits, hitting 126 on the 17th afternoon. This is the best the whole forecast gets, but it's still only "poor surf conditions." The wind is still messy, mostly light onshore, so it won't be clean. It's a session for the die-hards on a longboard, not a classic by any stretch.
The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal, coming in at 84°F, which is nice for a dip, but not much help for the waves.
So, the takeaway is: there is no standout. Not a single day in the next 16 days offers good surf. The only window of slightly bigger swell is the 17th and 18th, but even then, the quality is poor. You’re better off saving the wax for another time. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, the lineup is going to be very quiet.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Ha Golshim can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
