The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me lay it out plain: this 16-day stretch is a rough one for surfing. The only spot in the mix is Ha Golshim (Ha-Golshim). The water's at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
The first thing worth even mentioning is Sunday, August 16th. The morning combo swell energy hits 131 (moderate wave energy), with a 3ft swell from the WNW at 8 seconds. Light cross-onshore wind – it's not terrible, but it's not clean. The afternoon gets onshore and messy.
Monday the 17th morning is the only time the forecast nudges into "marginal" territory, with a combined energy of 107 (still moderate wave energy) and 3ft from the WNW at 8 seconds. Again, cross-onshore wind blows it out a bit. Tuesday the 18th morning is another marginal call with 86 (weak wave energy) and 3ft.
After that, it's a long, dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon the 18th all the way to the 28th, it's nothing but poor conditions. The combined energy drops as low as 12 (weak wave energy). We get a few glassy mornings on the 21st, 25th, 26th, and 27th, but the swell is tiny – between 1ft and 2ft – with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds. Not enough grunt to do anything with.
For a sheltered, inconsistent beginner spot like Ha Golshim, this kind of flat and poor run is pretty normal. On those afternoons with a moderate breeze, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. There's not a single standout session in the whole window. Don't waste the wax.
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.
