The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight about it – the next couple of weeks are pretty flat and quiet for us. Hakshtot (Ashdod) is the only spot on the cards, so we’re stuck looking at that same stretch of coast for any decent waves. The water temperature is about 85°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water’s nice on the skin even if there’s nothing to ride.
Right now, we’re looking at a real slow start. For the first several days, we’ve got tiny little knee-high slop, barely breaking, and the energy is weak – we're talking combined energy values hanging below 50 for most of it. The swell direction is mostly from the WNW, dribbling in at waist-height at best, but the period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds. There are some glassy windows on the mornings of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th, with clean conditions and no wind, but honestly, the waves are just too weak to get excited about – it’s still poor surf. Thursday and Friday mornings the 17th and 18th also offer glassy conditions, but again, tiny.
We’ve got to wait quite a while. There’s a notable gap of flat, unrideable junk until things finally change on the 23rd of September – that’s the Wednesday morning, about a week and a half away. On that day, the morning sees a small bump of swell: 5 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s still short-period, onshore wind from the NNW at 6 mph, but the combined energy jumps to 309, which is finally moderate energy. The afternoon stays similar, 5 ft from the WNW with 9 second period, but the wind swings NW and picks up to 12 mph, keeping things messy. Even then, the forecast is marginal for surf.
So, the only surfable window in these 16 days is a brief look on the morning of Wednesday the 23rd of September. It’s not a standout – just the least bad of the bunch. Break is Hakshtot (Ashdod), with a beginner-friendly size and reasonably consistent swell for this coast. The WNW swell direction is not matching the optimum W direction perfectly, so shape won’t be ideal, but with the swell around 5 ft, it will be okay for a longer board. Crowds are often here, so expect company. Still, after such a long dry spell, any wave might feel like a gift.
Rusty.
