The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's look at the surf picture for our area.
To be straight with you, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. We're looking at a long, flat spell. From now until the end of the 16 days, the wave energy just isn't there. The combined energy readings rarely get above the 50 to 80 mark (weak energy), and most days are even lower than that.
Running through it day by day. From Monday, August 10th, all the way through Saturday, August 23rd, it's more of the same. Wave heights are stuck between 1 ft and 3 ft, with a short, weak period of 5 to 8 seconds. That's just local wind swell, not the good stuff. The wind is mostly coming from the wrong direction, creating choppy, bumpy conditions. There's one brief window on the morning of Thursday, August 13th, where it goes glassy at Haambatia (Herzliya), but with a tiny 1 ft WNW swell and only 15 combined energy, you'd be hard-pressed to find a ride.
There's a very slight uptick around Tuesday, August 18th. The swell gets up to about 3 ft, and the combined energy hits the low 80s. That's the biggest it gets, but it's still a weak, short-period swell from the WNW with onshore winds. For a surfer who knows what they're doing, this wind and wave setup would be more fun for kite surfing than trying to paddle a surfboard. It's just not clean.
After that, it fades right back down to 1 ft from the 21st onward. The last few mornings, like the 24th and 25th, show a little more energy, but it's still poor quality. We just don't have any standout days or good windows in this forecast. It's a quiet period, so keep an eye on the charts; things can change.
Rusty.
