The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – this 16-day window for Hakshtot (Ashdod) is a real struggle. There’s a huge gap of nothing but poor surf conditions stretching from now, Thursday the 20th of August, all the way through to Friday the 28th of August. That’s over a week of marginal, choppy, or onshore slop that’s not worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath.
Saturday the 29th of August finally throws us a bone. The early morning session is the pick of the whole outlook, with a clean, glassy surface and a tiny northwest windswell bumping up to 2ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy reads 52, which is weak energy, but after so many flat days, it’s something. It’s wave height that’s more suitable for beginners, and since this spot is exposed to the west, that WNW direction is lining up okay. The wind is dead calm, glassy – that’s a major positive, because clean surf is hard to come by here right now. Crowds are often around, so expect company on those tiny waves.
Beyond that, Sunday the 30th of August morning is another shot – glassy again, with a 2ft, 7-second swell from the WNW and a combined energy of 31. The rest of the first week of September sees small pulses of 1ft to 2ft WNW swell, with occasional glassy mornings but mostly onshore winds in the afternoons. Nothing stands out as more than a quick splash.
Honestly, the best on offer in this whole period is the Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th glassy mornings. Keep your expectations low – these are tiny waves, but at least they’ll be clean. The forecast can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
