The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the Nahum Sokolow (Nahariya) stretch is a tough one. We’re looking down a long 16-day barrel and there isn’t a single session that gets a thumbs up for decent surf. Every single time slot in the forecast comes back as “poor surf conditions,” so I can’t sugar-coat it. There are no good options on offer right now.
The water’s sitting at a warm 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but you won’t be needing your boardshorts for surfing. We’re stuck in a pattern of small, weak swell. Most days the combined wave energy is low, often well under 100, which is basically flat-lining. The swell height barely pushes past 4 ft, with periods mostly hanging around 5-8 seconds – that’s short-period, weak windswell. The wind is nearly always onshore or cross-onshore, which just ruins any chance of a clean face for the few ripples that show up. Even when the swell bumps up a little towards the July 25th weekend, the wind is still on it. It’s a long stretch of nothing, about 16 days of it with no standout to hang your hat on. For context, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area in summer when the swell direction is mostly from the WNW and the wind doesn’t play ball. Unless you’re keen for a swim, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer on a gusty afternoon than a paddle surfer.
Stay hopeful, folks. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a flat spell.
Rusty.
