The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on offer for the next couple of weeks at Hakshtot (Ashdod).
To be honest with you, the start of this outlook is a bit of a tough watch. For the first ten days or so, we are looking at a real flat spell. From Tuesday 18th August right through to the end of August, the swell is tiny—mostly 1ft to 3ft—with short, weak periods of 5 to 7 seconds. The wave energy is low, mostly well under 100 (between 9 and 68). The wind, on top of that, is often onshore or cross-onshore, especially in the afternoons, which chops things up. The mornings do occasionally go glassy or calm, but there’s just no push in the water. It’s essentially a long run of poor surf conditions. You wouldn’t bother paddling out for that.
We do get a bit of a pulse to close out the month and start September. On Saturday 29th August morning, the swell picks up a notch to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined swell energy climbs to 173 (moderate). That’s a noticeable step up. The wind is light cross-onshore from the WSW though—not perfect, but surfable. It’s the best we’ve seen, but still a marginal call with tide.
The real standout, if you can wait for it, lands on Tuesday morning 1st September. That’s the best wave of the whole outlook. Swell is a clean 3ft from the WNW, period up to 9 seconds, with moderate energy at 157. Most importantly, the wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSW. That means clean, lined-up waves. The break itself is fairly consistent and exposed to the west, so it’ll catch that swell nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but this is still small enough for anyone to handle. A proper little session if you get in early before the onshore kicks in around lunch.
Overall, the first week and a half is a write-off, with only that Saturday 29th offering a glimmer, and the true highlight being that Tuesday 1st September morning. After that, it drops back down again. It’s a quiet run for Ashdod, but September 1st is worth marking in the diary.
Rusty.
