The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this isn't a week for epic tales. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy surf. It's going to be a test of patience, not a test of your paddle strength.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a flat spell. We've got waves, sure, but they're mostly in that knee-to-waist-high zone and the wind is going to be a constant battle. Don't get too excited about anything you see in the forecast – it's going to take a keen eye to find anything even slightly rideable.
First up, Hakshtot (Ashdod). The water temperature is about average for this time of year. The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday the wind is mostly onshore and bumpy. There's some swell in the water, but it's weak, around 2 ft to 2 ft, and it's fighting a losing battle against the chop. A morning like Wednesday the 5th might have a moment of glass, but the wave energy is just too low to get excited about.
We slide through the rest of the week in the same vein – small, weak, and crossed up. Saturday the 8th morning has a bit more push, maybe 3 ft, and the energy creeps up to 'moderate' (45), but the wind is cross-onshore and putting bumps on it. It's a marginal call at best.
The following week starts the same. A few glassy windows – like Tuesday the 11th morning and again on Wednesday the 19th – but the swell is tiny, barely breaking at 2 ft and 3 ft respectively. The energy is still weak for the most part. The standout, if you can even call it that, would be Saturday the 15th morning. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the WNW, the energy is a bit more moderate (61), and we finally get a cross-offshore wind which cleans the face up. It's the most surfable the place will look, but even then, it's ordinary at best.
So, there you have it. A lot of small, crumbly stuff. Good for a splash around if you're a beginner, but for the rest of us, it might be time to check the kite gear, because this setup looks more interesting for that than for paddle surfing.
Keep an eye on that 15th, it's the one spot with a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, it's a lot of looking at the ocean.
Rusty, out.
