The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks at Hakshtot (Ashdod).
To be straight with you, this stretch of coast is going through a flat spell. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf with hardly anything worth paddling out for until about the 17th of August. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Monday morning, 17 August.
The overall pattern is small, weak swell with a lot of cross and onshore wind messing things up. The swell direction is hanging around the WNW and NW, which is okay for this exposed beach break, but the wave heights barely tickle 3 ft at best, and periods are short – mostly 6 to 8 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, so the energy is low and the waves will be weak and crumbly. The combined swell energy values are mostly under 100 (e.g. 13, 32, 44) – that’s weak energy, nothing to get excited about.
Now, the one small standout in this quiet period is Monday morning, 17 August. We’ve got a 3 ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive. The combined energy hits 88 (moderate), and the surf report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is the best we get in this run. It’s a beginner-friendly height, so if you’re keen to get a few soft ones, that’s your window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit worries.
The crowds here are listed as “often,” so expect company, especially with the forecast looking so quiet otherwise. The break is fairly consistent, which helps, but with these tiny swells, don’t expect much push.
After that Monday morning, it goes back to poor conditions – cross-onshore winds, choppy water, and swell dropping back to 2 ft or less. The combined energy falls to weak levels again (under 30). There’s a glassy moment on Friday morning, 21 August, but the swell is only 2 ft with a 5-second period – that’s barely a ripple. Not worth the paddle.
Into the second week, things stay flat. The morning of 28 August shows a 3 ft WNW swell with clean conditions and a combined energy of 47, but that’s still weak. It’s surfable, but ordinary.
To be honest, this is a long stretch of below-par surf. The setup here is a beach break, and with such small, short-period swell, it’s more of a paddle float than a surf. If the wind stays onshore, it might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Hang in there – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
