The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Hakshtot (Ashdod).
Alright, so we're looking at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, with nothing really rideable for the first week or so. We've got a lot of small, weak, onshore slop coming in, and the wave energy is just too low. You're looking at combined swell energy readings in the teens and twenties for most of that first week, which is just pathetic.
The water is a notable 86°F, which is a full 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year—that's much warmer than normal, so the water will feel like a bathtub. But that's about the only good news.
Things start to look a little more interesting around the morning of Saturday, August 29th. We'll see a small bump in swell from the WNW at 3ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy picks up to a moderate 76, and we've got glassy conditions with a light breeze. The waves are still only surfable, but that glassy wind is a major plus. It's not going to be anything special, but it's something to get wet on.
Then on Sunday morning, August 30th, we see a little more of the same: 2ft from the NW with a glassy calm wind. The energy is at 62, so still moderate. Again, very small, but clean.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is looking like Saturday, September 5th. The morning shows a bit more size, with 3ft from the WNW at a 7-second period. The combined swell energy gets up to a moderate 93. While the wind is light and cross-shore, it's still going to be small and a bit weak.
Then, hold onto your boards for Sunday, September 6th. The morning shows a bit more size, 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy jumps into the three-digit range at 120, which is moderate but definitely the best we've seen. It's a bit of a mixed bag with some clouds and a light cross-onshore breeze, so the quality will be marginal. The afternoon has more size at 4ft, but it's onshore, so the morning will be the window.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, the best bet is that Sunday September 6th morning session. It's not going to be epic, but it'll be the most energy we've seen all forecast. The wave period is short at 8 seconds, so don't expect any long-period groundswell quality. For beginners, the small stuff on the 29th and 30th might be okay, but anything over 3ft is pushing it for them.
The rest of the forecast after that drops right back off into tiny onshore slop again. It's a tough run for Hakshtot (Ashdod), but that's how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on it, because forecasts change.
