The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, puttin' this one in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a one-trick pony on this forecast: Ha Golshim. This is a sheltered, beginner-friendly wave that looks like it’s gonna be mostly flat for the next couple of weeks. The right swell direction is out of the WNW, and while a lot of the energy comes from there, it’s just not doing the job. Most of the time, the winds are wrong or the swell is tiny.
You’re lookin' at a real dry spell from Monday, August 17th all the way through to the end of August. Nearly every day is a no-go. A lot of mornings are glassy or cross-shore, but the swell is anemic, mostly in the 1 ft to 2 ft range. The period is short, mostly 5 to 7 seconds, so it's just ripple-y junk. The combined energy numbers tell the story: 84 (on the 17th) and 24 (on the 19th) — just not enough water moving to do anything fun.
The only moment worth marking on the calendar is the very end. Check out Sunday, August 30th morning: a clean 3 ft WNW swell with a 7-second period, light cross-onshore breeze, and a combined energy reading of 61. Still weak, but it’s a little pulse. Then Monday morning, August 31st looks like the pick of the whole 16 days: the same 3 ft swell, a 6-second period, and glassy conditions. If you’re on a longboard or just learning, that Monday could be your one clean window. The water feels normal for the time of year.
Big wave riders, move along. Nothin’ to see here.
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.
