The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be honest, looking at this 16-day picture for the region, it's a tough one. We're not going to see any classic barrel days or anything to write home about. The swell just isn't there, and the wind is giving us problems.
The first real chance to even get a paddle in is very early on, but it's a grind. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 85°F.
Let's look at the main spot, Hakshtot (Ashdod). It's a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent, but it's exposed to the west and the optimum swell is from the west. We just aren't getting that.
The whole 16-day run is a near-blank. There's no surfable energy at all. The combined energy of the swells is weak, reading only 20 on the Monday morning of the 3rd of August, and it barely climbs above 99 for the whole period. The swell is tiny, mostly 2ft to 2ft, and the period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds. That's weak, wind-affected slop, not a real wave.
The winds are a disaster. The mornings are occasionally glassy, like on Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th, but the swell is so small it's just a ripple. Then the afternoons get hammered by onshore and cross-onshore breezes from the NW and WNW, around 12 mph, turning the water into a choppy mess.
We get a tiny window on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. The wind is from the SW at 6 mph, giving us a light cross-offshore breeze, and the report says it's clean. The swell is a pathetic 3ft from the WNW at a short 6 seconds. It's surfable, but "very ordinary" is the best word for it. That's the only day in the entire 16 days that even reaches a score of 1. The rest are all zeros.
After that, it's back to the same old story. Glassy mornings with no swell, or choppy afternoons. We see a bit of a push in energy around the 14th and 15th of August, with the combined energy hitting 99 and 89, but the swell is still only 3ft to 3ft with a 7-second period, and the wind is cross or cross-on. It's not going to be good.
For a spot like Hakshtot, which is fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. It's a blank run, plain and simple. With the light swell and poor quality, and the break being a beach setup, this honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for a bit of chop than it is for a paddle surfer.
The best you can hope for is a grovel on the morning of the 9th of August. Bring a log and low expectations.
Rusty.
