The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with ya – it's a lean stretch for the Hakshtot (Ashdod) area. The water's sitting at a warm 86°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year, which is nice for a paddle, but the swell just isn't delivering.
We're kicking off from Monday the 24th of August, and the story is pretty much the same for the whole forecast: tiny, weak waves. The swell hangs around a pathetic 1ft to 2ft from the WNW, with a short period of just 6 seconds – that's windswell, not groundswell, and it's got no grunt. The combined energy is lower than 100 (23 to 26) so it's barely a ripple. The wind is mostly onshore from the NW, which is the worst direction for this spot, ruining any chance of a clean face. The best you'll see is Tuesday morning the 25th, with a glassy 1ft and the wind off, but it's still just a knee-high dribble. The forecast is giving it a big fat zero for surf quality, and I can't argue with that.
The situation doesn't improve. Through the rest of August and into the first week of September, we're looking at the same story: ankle-snappers. The 7th of September brings a bit of a pulse, with the swell bumping up to 3ft from the WNW, and the combined energy climbs into three digits (117) – that's moderate! But it's still a short 8-second period, and the wind is cross-shore from the SW in the morning, so it'll be a bit bumpy. The afternoon sees the onshore kick in again, ruining it. It's still a "poor surf conditions" call, so don't get your hopes up.
Honestly, this is a no-go. There's a solid 16-day gap here with no real surf on offer. The break is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and exposed to the west, but the swell just isn't cooperating. We need a better westerly groundswell and some clean offshore winds to get this place going. For now, it's a flat spell. The kite surfers might be having a look at the afternoon breezes, but for a paddle surfer? Save your energy.
Rusty.
