The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch ahead for the Hakshtot (Ashdod) area. We’ve got a long dry spell on our hands, so don’t expect much action for the next week or so.
We’re looking at a run of poor surf from now through the 15th of August. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the NW or WNW, with a short period of just 6 seconds – not enough push for anything rideable. The wind isn't helping either, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting between 10 and 32 (15 to 32). The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
There’s a bit of a pulse showing up around the 16th of August. The morning of Sunday the 16th sees the swell nudge up to 2ft from the WNW with a slightly longer period of 8 seconds, and combined energy reaching 54. It’s still only a marginal call with a light cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be small and a bit bumpy, but it’s the first hint of something.
The standout, and really the only window worth noting, comes a bit later. On Tuesday the 20th of August, the morning brings a clean-looking window. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the NW with a period of 6 seconds, but we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW at 6 mph. That will clean the surface up nicely. Combined energy is only 20, so it's weak, but for a beginner-friendly spot like Hakshtot, it might be the best of a flat spell. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are likely, so get out early. This is a stretch with a lot of blank days, so don’t hold your breath for hero waves.
