The Lowdown
Alright mates, I’ll level with ya. Haambatia (Herzliya) is looking totally flat for the next 16 days. The finder’s got a big zero for any decent surf the whole way through, and with this spot being an inconsistent wave, a blank run like this is just part of the deal around here.
The whole stretch from now through the end of August into early September is a bust. The swell never tops 3 feet, and on the rare occasion it gets close – like Friday the 28th of August in the afternoon – the wind is howling right onshore, wrecking any chance of a clean wave. There are a handful of glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 19th, Friday the 21st, and Saturday the 22nd, but the swell is puny, only 2 to 2 feet, with a real short period. Barely enough to stand up on.
The most energy you’ll see is on Friday the 28th afternoon, with a combined swell energy of 102 (moderate), but with a 3-foot onshore mess and a short 8-second period, it’s just choppy junk. Saturday the 29th morning has the same 3-foot swell with a side-shore breeze, but still a weak 7-second period. Nothing to get excited about.
For a beginner spot that doesn’t fire often, this is a proper flat spell. The water’s at 86°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, but you’ll be doing more floating than surfing.
We’re looking at a 16-day dry spell with zero recommendations. Don’t sweat it too much, these doldrums don’t usually last forever around here, but for now, it’s a hard pass.
