The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead for the Ashdod area. We’re looking at a long, dry run with very little to get excited about. The first real chance of any surfable waves doesn’t turn up until Saturday the 25th of July, and even then, it’s not much to write home about. Before that, from Monday the 20th right through Friday the 24th, it’s a whole lot of nothing – tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore wind. The water is sitting at 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a nice dip.
Hakshtot (Ashdod) is the only spot in the game. The standout moment, if you can call it that, is the Saturday morning of the 25th of July. We get a little bump of 4ft from the NW, with a 7-second period. The combined wave energy is moderate at 126, so there’s a bit of push. The wind is light from the south, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. It’s the only window in the whole 16 days where the conditions line up to be clean. The swell is small enough for beginners, and the break is fairly consistent, so you’ll get a few. But it’s an exposed spot, and the optimum swell is from the west, so this NW swell isn’t perfect. Expect crowds, because this spot is often busy.
After that Saturday morning, it’s back to the doldrums. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th have some glassy starts, but the swell is tiny and weak – under 2ft and energy in the low double digits. There’s a glimmer on Tuesday morning the 4th of August with a glassy 3ft from the WNW, but the onshore wind kicks in by afternoon, spoiling it. It’s a long way out, so don’t plan your life around it.
Overall, this is a tough period. The surf is almost non-existent, and the one clean morning on the 25th is the only real chance to get wet with anything resembling a wave. The setup is so weak for so long that if the wind is strong, it might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddling. But hey, it’s the coast, and forecasts can change. For now, keep your expectations low.
Rusty.
