The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve stared at the charts for this stretch. Let’s be straight up – we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, no two ways about it. The swell energy is just not showing up in any meaningful way for a proper paddle.
Things kick off with a few humps, but it’s all pretty grim at Hakshtot (Ashdod). Through Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th, the swell is small and messy. Saturday morning offers a weak 2ft from the WNW, but the cross-off wind at 12 mph is going to chop it up. That afternoon gets a little bigger at 4ft from the W, but it’s a lumpy cross-on mess. Sunday morning hits 6ft from the WNW – which is the biggest we’ll see – but a 9 mph cross-on breeze and that weak period of 8 seconds (59 combined swell energy) makes it a choppy, poor-quality affair. This is beginner territory size-wise, but the wind will ruin it. Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 31st drops back to 3ft, cross-shore wind, still weak energy (126). From there it’s a long, painful slide. We go days with nothing but knee-high slop. The wind turns onshore for most of the afternoons, and the swell energy drops into the double and even single digits. We’ve got glassy mornings on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th of September with no wind, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft to 3ft and the period is short and weak. You’d be scraping the bottom of the barrel.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope right at the end. On Wednesday the 9th of September, we get a glassy morning with a 2ft swell from the WNW and the period bumps up to a slightly more interesting 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 67, which is the best we see in the second week. Then Thursday the 10th morning is glassy again with a 3ft WNW swell (82 combined energy). Friday the 11th morning is completely calm with 3ft (66 combined energy). But honestly, these are still just “surfable but ordinary” conditions. Clean faces, but barely enough push to get you excited.
The reality is, there’s no standout session. This lineup is a bust for the next 16 days. The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze waiting for a set that never comes. For a stretch this long with no consistent swell, it’s a pretty normal blank run for this area when the pattern settles. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings on September 9th, 10th, and 11th are your best look, but keep expectations on the floor.
Rusty.
