The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: it’s a quiet, drawn-out stretch with a big ol’ flat gap at the start. Nothing unusual for this region, but it doesn’t make it any easier.
The only spot we’re talking about is Hakshtot (Ashdod). It’s a beginner-friendly beach break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the west. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86°F with a 3°F anomaly, so it’s notably warm.
The first chance at anything surfable comes on Tuesday morning, September 1st. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the NW with a period of just 7 seconds – that’s short period, weak windswell, no real punch. The combined energy is only 54 (weak). But the wind is glassy, NNE at 3 mph, so it’s as clean as it gets. The waves are surfable but very ordinary. Not a standout, but it’s the first thing going after a dry spell.
We hit another lull until the morning of Sunday, September 6th. Again, a small 3ft swell from the WNW, period 8 seconds, combined energy of 72 (still weak). The glassy conditions with WNW wind at 3 mph will make it look pretty, but it’s marginal. Another "surfable but very ordinary" call.
The last chance comes on Wednesday, September 9th. The morning offers a 2ft NW swell with a period stretching to 9 seconds – finally a little more period, so a bit more shape. Combined energy is 65 (weak). The wind is glassy, NNE at 3 mph. Again, clean but tiny. By the afternoon, the wind swings NNW and picks up to 16 mph, turning it choppy and poor.
From September 10th all the way through to September 15th, it’s a dead zone. The swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, the periods are short (5-8 seconds), and the energy readings are pathetic (12 to 70). The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, especially in the afternoons, making a mess of everything.
There’s no true standout here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Tuesday morning, September 1st session or the Sunday morning, September 6th session at Hakshtot are your best bets. The glassy conditions are a major plus, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. For beginners, it’s safe, but for anyone else, it’s a frustrating wait.
Rusty.
