The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the local stretch up to Hakshtot (Ashdod) is mostly a flat spell. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy conditions. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny waves and poor surf. The earliest we might see anything worth paddling out for is Saturday morning, the 15th of August, but even that's a mighty low bar.
Let's start with the first real chance. On Saturday morning, the 15th, we get a weak 2ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a low 40 (weak), so it's small. The real highlight here is the wind – a light cross-offshore from the SSW. That'll keep the surface clean, which is a major plus given the tiny size. The water temperature is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. Don't expect anything special.
Now, a few other mornings pop up with similar tiny, clean conditions. Monday the 17th morning has the same 3ft WNW swell and a glassy cross-offshore, but the wave comment says "marginal", so it's not a guarantee. Tuesday the 18th morning is also marginal. Wednesday the 19th morning has a 2ft NW swell and glassy conditions, but again, it's just "surfable but very ordinary."
Right at the very end of the window, we see a couple of mornings with real glass. On Tuesday the 25th of August, the morning shows a 2ft WNW swell with glassy conditions. And on Thursday the 27th of August, we get a 2ft WNW swell with total calm, glassy conditions. These are the closest we get to a good session, but the swell is still tiny.
The truth is, there's no standout period here. The breaks are fairly consistent in offering something, but it's all very small and weak. The swell never gets above 3ft, and the periods are short, under 8 seconds. The best bet is to pick one of those glassy mornings – the 25th or 27th of August – and manage your expectations. You'll be on a longboard, floating around in clean, warm water. It's more about being out there than catching waves.
Stay patient, mates. The surf isn't on our side right now, but it never stays poor for long.
Rusty.
