The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check the forecast for your local patch.
First up, I’ve gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty quiet. There’s not a single day where the swell and wind line up for a proper surf. The first recommendation comes in on Saturday, 8 August, but honestly, it’s a no-go from the get-go. The swell is tiny – only 2 ft from the WNW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the wave energy is weak at just 30. The wind is cross-shore on Saturday morning, turning onshore in the afternoon, so the surface is gonna be messy.
We’re looking at a long dry spell here. From Saturday, 8 August right through to Sunday, 23 August, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell never gets above 3 ft, and the period mostly hangs around 6 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, not the kind of push that gets you excited. The combined energy tops out at 88 on Monday, 17 August, but even then the wind is onshore and the waves are just 3 ft with a 7-second period, so it’s bumpy and weak.
There’s one spot on the list: Haambatia (Herzliya). It’s a beginner-friendly break, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks properly. The optimum swell direction is from the west, but the incoming swell is mostly from the WNW or NW – not quite matching up. When the wind does go light, like on Wednesday morning, 12 August, with a glassy 2 ft swell, it’s still too small to ride. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The most promising day in the whole run is Monday, 17 August, with swell up to 3 ft from the WNW and a 7-second period, but the onshore wind in the afternoon will chop it up. Mornings are a bit cleaner with a cross-onshore breeze, but it’s still not worth paddling out for.
If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger onshore winds on some afternoons might give you something to play with, but for paddle surfing, it’s a total blank. The combination of tiny swell, short period, and mostly onshore wind means you’re better off keeping your board in the car. This kind of extended flat spell is pretty normal for this area, so don’t let it get you down. Forecasts can change, and we might see a pulse later.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the horizon, and I’ll catch you next time.
