The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple weeks. I’ll be honest with ya, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for any real surf out at Ha Golshim. This spot is a sheltered little beginner wave, and it looks like it’s going to be mostly starved for swell and messed up by wind for the vast majority of the forecast period.
The first week is a write-off, to be frank. From Saturday the 12th right through to the end of Thursday the 17th, the call is “poor surf conditions” every single session. The swell is tiny for days, hanging around 1 ft to 2 ft with short, weak periods of 5 to 6 seconds, and combined wave energy is well below 100 (weak). Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a bit of a tease early on the morning of Wednesday the 16th with a small increase in swell to 3 ft from the WNW, but it’s short period and gets blown out by the afternoon. Not worth paddling out for.
Finally, on the morning of Friday the 18th, things improve just a touch. We get a cleaner window with light offshore winds (light cross-off from the S) and the surf turns “surfable but very ordinary”. Swell size is small at 3 ft from the WNW with a 8-second period, but the combined energy is still weak (88). It's the only period that even rates a “1” in the entire outlook. If you’re an absolute beginner and just want to sit on a board in clean water, you could time that Friday morning session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing special.
Then it’s right back to poor conditions for the next week. A bit more hopeful around the 16th to the 17th of September where the swell bumps up to 4 ft to 5 ft from the WNW, with a period stretching to 8 and 9 seconds, and the energy ticks up into the moderate zone (172 to 275). But the afternoon winds are onshore and strong at 12 mph, which will make it a choppy mess for a paddle. For a sheltered, beginner break that is inconsistent, those conditions aren’t going to produce anything fun.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. The conditions are so consistently poor that it’s not worth getting hopes up. For a break like Ha Golshim, which is already inconsistent, a blank run like this is normal. Keep an eye on the charts, because it usually doesn’t stay this poor for long, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.

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.
