The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our little corner of the coast.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet start and it stays that way for a long while. There's nothing worth paddling out for at Ha Golshim from now through to the end of August. We’re looking at small, weak swells – mostly around 1.0 ft to 3 ft, with combined wave energy barely breaking into double digits (mostly under 100). That’s just not enough push for a decent ride. Winds aren’t doing us any favours either, mostly blowing onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little there is. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 21st and 22nd of August, but with swell at only 2 ft and energy around 11, it’s flat calm, not surfable. You’d be bobbing around with your fins dragging. That’s over a week of nothing to get excited about.
The pattern drags on through the last week of August and into the very start of September. The swell heights stay tiny, the periods are short (5 to 6 seconds), and the energy remains weak. There is a glimmer very late in the window, on the morning of the 31st of August, where the swell ticks up to 4 ft from the WNW with a bit more push – energy hits a moderate 146. It's still looking marginal though. The water is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 86°F, if you were wondering.
The one to watch – and this is the only real standout, way out there – is the morning of Tuesday, 2nd of September. The wind goes glassy, the swell is 3 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy sits at 74. It’s nothing huge, but given the long, dry run we’ve had, that clean, small swell will be the closest thing to a surfable wave in the whole outlook. Don’t expect much, but if you’re desperate for a glide, that’s your moment. Just be aware, it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but don’t lock in your plans yet.
Overall, these next couple of weeks are a patience game. The surf just isn't showing up.
Stay salty,
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.
