The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again, same spot but in feet and miles per hour. Let's break down Hakshtot (Ashdod) for the next 16 days. I'm not gonna lie – it's a lean run. This is usually a fairly consistent break, but we've got a long stretch of flatness and choppy junk before anything worth paddling out for.
Right now, Saturday July 18, it's a no-go. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the WNW with a short 6-second period, and a 12 mph onshore NW wind. Total energy is weak. That sets the pattern. Sunday the 19th morning is glassy with a light SW breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is still only 2ft and 7 seconds – small and weak. Water temp is 82°F, right around average for July, so no worries there.
Monday the 20th through Thursday the 24th is a flat spell. Swell heights stay 1ft to 2ft, period 5-6 seconds, and every afternoon gets hammered by onshore NW winds at 12 mph. Mornings are sometimes lighter, but the waves are barely there. Combined energy stays well under 100 – you're looking at 8 to 40. Nothing to get excited about.
Then on Saturday July 25, we finally get a window. Saturday morning brings a 4ft swell from the WNW, 8-second period. That's a short-period windswell, but the energy bumps up to 162 (moderate). And the wind? Light SSW at 6 mph, cross-offshore – that cleans it right up. For a beginner spot like Hakshtot, 4ft is manageable and fun. It'll be small but rideable, and the light wind keeps the surface smooth. That's your only real shot. The afternoon turns onshore again at 9 mph and it's done.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are choppy. Monday the 27th afternoon sees a 3ft swell with a long 10-second period, but the wind is onshore NNW at 12 mph – total chop. Tuesday the 28th morning is marginal with 2ft and cross-on breeze. Wednesday the 29th morning goes glassy again, light NNW at 3 mph, but the swell is only 2ft from the NW, period 6 seconds, energy 42. It's "surfable but ordinary." If you're desperate, you might squeeze a few, but don't expect quality.
From there through August 2, it's the same story: tiny swell, onshore winds. The second half of the period is essentially empty. For a break that's usually fairly consistent, this is a dry spell. If you're a beginner, the morning of July 25 is your best call. Otherwise, that steady onshore wind and small swell might be better for kiting than paddling.
Hang in there – forecasts can always change.
