The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the stretch ahead. Looking at the whole 16-day picture, I gotta be honest with you: it’s pretty flat out there. There’s a bit of a pulse coming mid-period, but the conditions are going to fight us the whole way. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf with only a tiny window that might be worth a paddle, and even that’s nothing to write home about. Don’t get too excited.
The first few days are a write-off. Through Thursday and Friday, we’ve got tiny, weak swell – nothing over 2ft – and it’s just not doing anything. Strong winds are messing with what little is out there. It’s a lake. No good.
Over the weekend, things pick up a touch in size, but it’s not going to be any good. Saturday sees a slight bump to 2ft, and Sunday we actually get a pulse of 6ft from the WNW with some moderate energy behind it (460). But the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, and it’s going to be a choppy, messy mess. That setup, with that much wind and a beach break, honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers. It’s going to be a blown-out shambles.
Then we hit Monday, the 31st of August. This is our one real glimmer of hope. The swell drops back to a 4ft from the NW, but the winds go light and offshore from the SW. It’s the only time in the window where the word “clean” comes up. It’s still only a 147 for combined energy, so it’s not powerful, but the surface is going to be smooth. If you’ve got a log and you’re desperate, this is your moment. It’s a beginner-friendly size, so it’s not going to be scary, but it’s also not going to be epic. Hakshtot (Ashdod) is the spot. It’s fairly consistent, but it’s also “often” crowded, so expect some company if you go.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the first week of September is just tiny, weak swell – under 3ft – with onshore winds messing it up. We get a few glassy mornings, like Friday the 5th and Sunday the 7th, but there’s just no swell to go with the clean conditions. It’s a frustrating tease.
The second week is more of the same, just a total blank. We’re looking at a solid run of days with nothing on offer. The swell stays in the 1ft to 2ft range with short, weak periods, and the winds are mostly onshore. It’s just dead. A few morning glass-offs on the 8th and 9th will look pretty, but you’ll be staring at flat water. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for this area, so it’s not a shock, but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
So, bottom line: the only real standout, and I’m using that term loosely, is Monday morning, the 31st of August. Get out early, grab a couple of soft ones, and be grateful for whatever you find. The long-range stuff further out is promising, but we’ll need to see the forecasts shift before I get my hopes up. Don’t put the board away, but don’t set the alarm clock for the next couple of weeks either.
That’s it from me.
