The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for our little stretch of coast.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch. We're staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell, and that's the honest truth. The first real bump in the ocean that’s worth paddling out for doesn’t show its face until Sunday the 20th of September. So, between now and then, we’re talking about a solid 14-day gap with virtually nothing doing. The water’s sitting at 85°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s no waves to enjoy.
Let's talk about the only real window of opportunity we get. On Sunday the 20th of September, things finally wake up at Ha Golshim. We’re looking at a WNW swell pushing through, with waves building to about 4 ft to 5 ft. The swell energy climbs to a moderate 232 (combined energy), so there’s actually some weight behind it. The period is a short 8 seconds, though, so it'll be a bit crumbly and won't have that long, loping wall you dream of.
The mornings on that Sunday are the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a light cross-shore breeze with a slight air, keeping things tidy. The afternoon turns onshore with a gentle breeze, so get your session in early. With the swell just under 5 ft, it’s still a manageable size for most, but that inconsistency the spot is known for means you might be sitting and waiting a fair bit between sets. The crowds are listed as "sometimes", so you should have some room to move if you’re patient.
Don’t get too excited about anything before that. The whole first two weeks are plagued by "poor surf conditions" – tiny waves, weak energy, and a lot of onshore wind. From Saturday the 5th through to Saturday the 19th, the biggest we see is a measly 3 ft on Monday the 7th, and that’s with a nasty onshore breeze. There’s a couple of glassy mornings, like on Tuesday the 8th and Sunday the 13th, but with swell under 3 ft and energy below 35, you’d be better off taking a long walk.
So, to sum it up: it’s a long, quiet grind until the 20th of September. That Sunday morning at Ha Golshim is the only game in town, and it’s not a world-beater, but it’s something. Keep your eye on the forecast after that, because it tends not to stay poor for long around here.

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.
