Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this forecast. It’s a rough one, I’ll tell you that straight up.
We’re staring at a 16-day window with virtually no surf to speak of. It’s a long, barren stretch with no proper recommendations. The only energy that shows any pulse is late in the game, and even then, it’s a messy affair.
The only spot we’ve got is Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya). The water is sitting at 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But that’s all the good news. From Saturday, July 11th, through the next week, it’s tiny. Swell heights are barely pushing 2 ft to 2 ft, with a short, weak period around 6 seconds and lousy energy readings – we’re talking values like 18, 39, and 75 in the brackets for that first week. That’s all weak to moderate. The wind is a constant pain, too, mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the west or northwest. It’s going to be choppy every day. Saturday the 11th has a brief moment with a light 3 mph westerly, but it's still cross-on, so even that won't save the day.
This sorry state drags on. Through the middle of the window, the swell stays small, period short, and the wind ruins any chance of a clean wave. It’s “poor surf conditions” across the board. For a beginner spot, this is just dead flat.
Finally, by Saturday the 25th and into Sunday the 26th, we see a slight bump. Swell height gets to about 3 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy on the 26th morning hits 125 (moderate wave energy). But the wind on the 26th is a moderate 12 mph cross or cross-onshore from the southwest and west-southwest, making a chop. It’s still no good. The wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” This isn’t a standout; it’s just the least terrible option in a bad lineup.
So, that’s the picture. A long, empty run with no real chances to get wet. This stretch makes the spot look more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the garage.
Rusty.
