The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in with the outlook for your local stretch.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a long dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The swell is tiny and weak, and most of the time the wind is going to be messy. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The first real flicker of something surfable doesn't show up until Sunday the 16th morning at Hakshtot (Ashdod). Even then, it's only 3ft of weak, short-period NW swell (energy of 103), but the wind is glassy, so it'll be clean. It's still very ordinary, but it's the best we've got. Wednesday the 19th morning also has a glassy window with similar tiny 2ft waves, and again on Tuesday the 25th morning. These are the only moments of glassy conditions in the whole outlook, but the swell is pitiful.
The rest of the period is a write-off. Onshore winds from the NW and NNW ruin the tiny waves most afternoons, and the mornings are often cross-shore or choppy. The swell never gets above 3ft, and the period is consistently short, so there's no power or shape to speak of. From the 21st onwards, the swell drops even further, bottoming out at 1ft on the 23rd. It's not worth getting wet for.
If you're desperate, those glassy mornings on the 16th, 19th, and 25th are your only real chances for a clean, if utterly weak, surf. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run for the area.
