The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the Ashdod area.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy surf. The water, though, is a real standout: at 86.0°F, it's feeling much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a paddle won't be a shock to the system.
The first time we see anything with a little bit of life is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. Hakshtot (Ashdod) is showing a tiny 1.0ft WNW swell, but the real story is the glassy conditions. The wind is dead flat, and that's going to make the surface as clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate (103), so there's a bit of push behind it. It's a beginner-friendly break that's fairly consistent, and with the glassy morning, it's the best you'll get for a while. However, by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and it's gone.
The next couple of mornings offer a glimpse of hope. The morning of Tuesday the 1st of September brings a slightly bigger 3.3ft WNW swell from a longer period (8 seconds), with light cross-shore winds. The energy is moderate (136), but it's still not a classic shape. Then Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September have glassy mornings again, with 2.3ft and 3.0ft WNW swells respectively. These are 'surfable but ordinary' – a couple of knee-to-waist high rollers for a quiet session, but nothing to rearrange your day for.
Honestly, the standout here is the Saturday morning glass-off. The rest of the period is a long wait for clean conditions, and even then, the swell doesn't have the power or period to really get excited about. If you're desperate, that's your window.
