The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s on offer.
Straight up, we’ve got a long, flat spell ahead. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Sunday the 16th, so we’re looking at a quiet start with a few days of nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 85°.
Ha Golshim is the only spot showing any signs of life, but it’s a sheltered, inconsistent beginner wave, and the swell direction is coming from the WNW, which is exactly the opposite of what it likes. The whole outlook is a bit of a struggle.
The first glimmer comes on Sunday morning, August 16th. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, at 103. It’s a light cross-onshore breeze, so the surface will have a bit of texture. It’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve got for the entire run. Don’t expect much.
Monday morning, August 17th, is pretty similar – 3ft WNW swell, 8-second period, and another light cross-onshore wind. The energy drops to 88. Still just a whimper.
After that, the swell settles back down into tiny, weak surf for the rest of the forecast period. There are a couple of glassy mornings, like Wednesday August 19th and Friday August 21st and Wednesday August 26th and Thursday August 27th, but the swell is only 1ft to 2ft with a short, weak period. It’s flat, clean, and pretty for a paddle, but not for a wave.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a surf, Sunday the 16th is the only window. It’s not good, but it’s what’s on the table. For the rest of the time, it’s a flat spell. The forecasts might change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Ha Golshim can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
