The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you straight off the bat: the next couple of weeks are a write-off for anything decent. There’s no surf on offer for the first nine days, and even when it does start to show a pulse, it’s barely a heartbeat. We’re looking at a long, flat, and frustrating stretch ahead.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t come until Wednesday the 19th, and even then, it’s a struggle. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak (47), and the wind is only calm in the morning. You’d be scratching for sloppy ankle-biters. Before that, from the 10th through the 18th, it’s pretty much a dead zone. The odd ripple shows up, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave heights stay pathetically small, around 1ft to 3ft. You’re better off doing something else.
So, the only spot worth mentioning is Hakshtot (Ashdod). It’s a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly consistent, exposed to the west. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a small comfort. But the waves... they’re just not there.
The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Wednesday, the 19th. We get a glassy start, a light offshore, and the swell is a dire 2ft from the NW. The energy is still weak (47), and the period is short, so it’ll be soft and gutless. But it’s the only time in the whole window where the conditions are clean. The afternoon gets chopped up by an onshore breeze, so your window is small.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The 20th and 21st are flat and messy, and the 22nd has a similar morning to the 19th – clean, light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is still tiny at 3ft with weak energy (51). It’s surfable, but only just. The 23rd through the 25th just fades away again.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, keep your eyes on the 19th morning. It’s not good, but it’s the only thing resembling a wave. Otherwise, this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this stretch. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
