The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch. It’s been a bit quiet on the wave front, I won’t lie, but let’s get into it.
Honestly, the outlook over this entire 16-day period is pretty bleak for any serious surfing. We’re looking at a long stretch where the swell is small and the conditions are nearly always average or worse. There’s really only one morning that stands out as a proper surf option, but the rest of the time you’re fighting small, weak waves and onshore wind. After a brief window on Sunday the 30th, it drops off a cliff and stays very quiet for over a week before a tiny flicker of hope on Tuesday the 8th.
Let’s run through the best of a bad bunch. The standout is Sunday morning, August 30th at Hakshtot (Ashdod). We’ve got a 5ft swell coming out of the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at (322), so there’s a bit of push. It’s a good beginner wave size, but the wind is a cross-on from the WNW at 9 mph, which will keep the surface a little bumpy. Still, it’s the most size we see all period. The water is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s a graveyard of small surf and rubbish winds right through to the start of September. The swell just tanks. By Tuesday morning, September 8th, we get another tiny window. Tuesday morning has clean, glassy conditions with no wind, and a little 3ft WNW swell. The water is still warm and the energy is weak at (66), so it’s not going to bowl you over, but for a small-wave cruiser, it might be the cleanest you’ll get.
Honestly, if you’re not a beginner, the rest of this period is a write-off. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind rarely plays ball. This is one of those runs where you’re better off checking the kite forecast, because the beach setup with the moderate cross-onshore wind in the afternoons will be more interesting for them than us.
There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 30th afternoon all the way to the morning of the 8th, and even then it's marginal. After that, it’s back to tiny waves for the second week. Plenty of glassy mornings for a paddle, but not much to ride.
Stay patient, gang.
Rusty.
