The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak run for us. We've got one spot to look at, Ha Golshim, and it’s a stretch to even call it a recommendation for most of the 16 days. The first week and a half is a total write-off. From Friday the 28th of August right through to Monday the 7th of September, the conditions are just poor across the board. We're talking tiny, weak slop with the wrong wind direction pretty much non-stop. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like on Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September, but the swell is so small and short-period (4 to 6 seconds) that there's just no energy to work with. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, sitting between 9 and 19 (weak). It's a real bummer.
There is one little flicker of hope right at the tail end. On Monday the 7th of September, the morning session actually gets a "surfable" nod. The swell bumps up to a modest 0.9m (about 3ft) out of the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. Wave energy climbs to 95 (still weak, but better). But the real winner is the wind – it's glassy. Absolutely dead calm, clean conditions. For a spot like Ha Golshim, which is a sheltered, inconsistent beginner wave and only breaks sometimes, this is the moment to be there if you're learning or just want a tiny, clean knee-to-waist high runner. That morning window on the 7th is the only real standout in this whole 16-day forecast. The crowds are only "sometimes" an issue here, so you should have plenty of space.
After that, it's back to small, messy, and onshore winds right through to the end of the second week. The 8th and 9th of September have some glassy mornings again, but the swell is back down to 0.5m (2ft) or 0.6m (2ft) with no period or energy. Not worth paddling out for.
Water temp is about average for the time of year. No real surprises there.
So, to sum it up: park your board for the next nine days, then set an alarm for first light on Monday the 7th of September. It won't be epic, but it'll be the best we've got. Otherwise, the whole run looks cleaner for a kite than a paddle, but even then, you'd need more juice.

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.
