Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what’s on offer for the local stretch. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead. The first recommendation doesn't kick in until Friday the 10th, so we're looking at a couple of days of flat or near-flat conditions before anything worth even a mention shows up. After Friday, it’s a long, drawn-out pattern of small, weak swells and mostly poor wind conditions, so you really gotta pick your moments. Water temp is sitting at a very warm 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
So, the one real standout in this whole 16-day window is Friday morning, July 10th down at Hakshtot (Ashdod). It’s not a day for the history books, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell is small at 3 ft, coming out of the WNW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a low 47 (weak). But here’s the thing: the wind switches to a light cross-offshore from the SSW at just 3 mph, and the report calls it clean. For a spot that’s exposed to the west and is a beginner-friendly break, that glassy-adjacent morning window is your only real chance for a few fun little ones. It'll be small and weak, but clean.
Beyond that, it's a rough slog. There’s a brief window on Saturday morning, July 19th, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still tiny at 3 ft and 7 seconds, and the energy is only 59. It’s surfable, but again, nothing to get excited about.
The pattern stays stubbornly the same: small WNW swell (1 ft to 4 ft), short periods (6-8 seconds), and consistent onshore or cross-shore winds. The combined energy readings are all in the weak range until a slight bump on July 22nd, where it jumps to 224 (moderate energy) with a 4 ft swell, but it’s completely ruined by onshore winds. That one is better left for the windsurfers or kites, because for a paddle surfer, it’s just choppy and messy.
Bottom line: If you're desperate, get out Friday morning July 10th for a clean but small session. Otherwise, this 16-day outlook is mostly a write-off, with long gaps between anything worthwhile. The area tends to get stretches like this, so don't lose hope – forecasts can always shift.
Rusty.
