The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf outlook for the next 16 days. This one is a bit of a tough read, so I’ll keep it real with you.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing. From Thursday, 27 August, all the way through to the morning of Tuesday, 8 September, we’re looking at a dry spell with no solid surf on offer. The swell is small and weak, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, messing up whatever tiny waves there are. The combined swell energy is barely scratching double digits most days, maxing out at a weak 66 on Saturday, 29 August, but the quality is just poor. It’s not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate for a float.
The standout, if you can call it that, comes in on Tuesday morning, 8 September. That’s when Ha Golshim finally sees a little uptick. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds – not a groundswell, but it’s got some shape. The combined energy reaches 116, which is in the moderate range. The wind is cross-onshore from the NW at 6 mph, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen in days. The morning session is the pick, with a marginal call. The afternoon gets a bit choppier with stronger winds, so get in early.
For the rest of the outlook, it’s back to small, weak, and onshore. The week of 9 September onwards is flat and forgettable. The swell drops to 1ft–2ft, with periods of 6–7 seconds, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, making it messy. No standouts there.
Overall, the only real chance to get wet is Tuesday morning, 8 September. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only window with a pulse. If you’re a beginner, the 3ft is fine, but the cross-onshore chop might make it tricky. If you’re an experienced surfer, it’s a small day, but you might find a few fun ones if you’re patient.
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. 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.
Ha Golshim is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Bat Yam. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bat Yam. Bat Yam has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
