The Lowdown
Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you—the next 16 days at Ha Golshim are looking pretty grim. There’s no real surf to get excited about, and the whole window is a long stretch of nothing to write home about. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore, and the ratings are as low as they get. The water temperature is sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just floating around, it’s fine, but for waves? Forget it.
The first possible surf doesn’t show up until Monday, August 17th, and even then it’s only a morning session with a 3ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SW at 6 mph, and the combined energy is weak at 85—barely a ripple. The conditions are described as "marginal," and honestly, that’s being generous. That’s the only day in the whole 16-day stretch that even gets a score of 1 out of 10, and everything else is a solid zero. We’re talking a massive gap of 13 days from the start of the forecast period with no recommendations at all. The break is inconsistent and sheltered, and the swell direction is WNW, but the optimum swell is from the WNW, so at least it’s in the right ballpark, but the size is just too small to do anything with.
For the rest of the period, it’s a mixed bag of tiny swells, onshore winds, and poor surf quality. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of August 17th. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is light cross-onshore from the SW at 6 mph. The wave energy is weak (85), and it’s a beach-and-reef setup that’s sheltered, so it’s not going to hold any power. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, but with conditions this poor, you’ll probably have the place to yourself. It’s really only for beginners, and even then, the quality is marginal. The water temp is a bit warmer than usual, but that’s not going to make the waves any better.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, August 17th morning is your only shot, and it’s a real gamble. The rest of the 16 days are a total washout. Hang in there, because forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough one.
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.
